Do anesthesia information systems increase malpractice exposure? Results of a survey.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) forms in stored red blood cells (RBCs) as a result of hemolysis. Studies suggest that this cell-free Hb may decrease nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, potentially leading to endothelial dysfunction, vascular injury, and multiorgan dysfunction after transfusion. We tested the hypoth...
