Measuring hemoglobin before transfusing is paramount ! We have very good options at the bedside.

Decision to transfuse🩸in surgery impacts outcomes

Point-of-care Hgb often used but is it accurate?
🕵️‍♂️Prospective study by @chamogui.bsky.social

🧪1735 samples
Wide variation in p-o-c Hgb ➡️ large difference vs lab
⚠️Risk of transfusion errors - lowest with HemoCue 6%

A higher preoperative fibrinogen is associated with less transfusions but a higher mortality in liver transplantation. However, data is overall of low quality mostly because of uncontrolled confounding of these associations. @CRCHUM @med_umontreal...

Reported perioperative practice is variable in liver transplantation and heterogeneous across centres. There is room for high-quality evidence. @Michael_Chasse @adriennekcarr @prochaudhury @dean_karvellas @CJA_Journal @CRCHUM @med_umontreal...

Great work led by @HalletJulie on anesthesia volume care. More experienced anesthetist = better outcomes!!! https://journals.lww.com/annalsofsurgery/Abstract/9900/The_Association_between_Hospital_High_volume.298.aspx @CRCHUM

Our new article in @TransplantJrnl.

A lower fibrinogen prior to liver transplantation is associated with increased bleeding and transfusions. This is clinically significant even below 3 g/L.

Thanks to @CIHR_IRSC to have funded the REFIL study (http://www.elipto.ca), a trial that may improve perioperative care in liver transplantation. @CRCHUM @chumontreal @Michael_Chasse

The intraoperative use of a phlebotomy may be a good and safe blood-sparing strategy in liver transplantation. However, its effect on postoperative complications has to be better understood.

Among critical COVID-19 patients, a higher BMI was associated with a higher hospital mortality. Obese patients also needed more organ support. Just published in IJO @SpringerNature. @CRCHUM @Michael_Chasse @LouisMullie @chumontreal

« À compter du 15 octobre, tous les intervenants du réseau de la santé – public ou privé – qui sont en contact pendant plus de 15 minutes avec un patient devront être vaccinés. ».

De toute évidence, la règle a été faite pour qu’elle ne s’applique pas à la plupart des médecins.

Obesity is not only associated with a higher risk of critical COVID-19, but it is also associated with a higher hospital mortality among critical COVID-19.
