PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During surgery (an average of about 4 hours)

Population: We only included the participants who received a blood transfusion during the surgery for this analysis. Participants who did not receive a transfusion were excluded from this analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During surgery (an average of about 4 hours)

To assess absolute accuracy, or single point comparison, paired SpHb and Hb measurements were compared pre- and post- transfusion and bias and standard deviation were calculated. A Bland Altman graph with limits of agreement (1.96 x standard deviation, adjusted for the bias) was plotted to show agreement across the range of values. To assess trending, a regression plot of changes in Hb and corresponding changes in SpHb was plotted and a coefficient of determination (R2) was calculated

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: During surgery (an average of about 4 hours)

Potential cost saving resulting from reduced RBC utilization was estimated using activity-based cost estimates established by Shander et al.(8) which determined from both U.S. and European hospitals the total cost of transfusing one RBC unit to be between $522 and $1,183 with a mean and standard deviation of $761 ± $294.
