Red cell transfusions in coronary artery bypass surgery (DRGs 106 and 107)

abstract：BACKGROUND:Our goal is to minimize unnecessary cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seronegative blood transfusion to preserve the CMV-seronegative blood inventory for patients who are identified as CMV seronegative. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:We implemented a CMV antibody reflex testing protocol for patients who require CMV-compatibl...
