Abstract
Strong evidence supports the benefits of restrictive blood transfusion policies in non-cardiac surgery and national guidelines were adapted nearly a decade ago to recommend changes such as restrictive hemoglobin (hgb) thresholds and single unit transfusion. Whether these changes have modified transfusion practices in benign gynecologic surgery remains unclear as rates of perioperative transfusion remain high compared to other surgical specialties. We aimed to describe perioperative transfusion practices in benign gynecologic surgery at an academic, tertiary care women’s hospital in order to assess adherence to national guidelines.
