Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Postoperative erythrocytes transfusion is associated with morbidity and excess mortality, which should lead to ask the indication for RBC transfusions only on metabolic needs. Currently, the majority of studies used to put hemoglobin values indicating red cell transfusions. Two observational studies have confirmed that a transfusion strategy based on a metabolic index (ScvO2) individual was accompanied by a different transfusion strategy than using the hemoglobin threshold values. We propose to conduct the first randomized multicenter study to evaluate erythrocyte transfusion strategy in postoperative cardiac surgery using the ScvO2 each patient versus a threshold value usually recommended for all patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SVO2 group

After optimization of oxygenation and blood volume, concentrate transfusion (s) of red blood cells by the individual value of ScvO2, whose value must be greater than 70% after elimination of hypovolemia, hypotension or hypoxemia.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SVO2 group / control group

Intervention Type OTHER

control group

After optimization of oxygenation and blood volume, concentrate transfusion (s) of red blood cells based on the hemoglobin values, as recommended by the National Health Authority for Anesthesiology, Surgery, Emergency (November 2014 ): transfusion threshold of \<9 g / dl for patients with cardiovascular antecedents.
