Ana Pedrero Gil: How Are Intraoperative PRBC Transfusions Associated with Postoperative Delirium in Adults

Ana Pedrero Gil, Anesthesiologist at Igualada University Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Xiaohan Xu published in eClinical Medicine, adding:

“This study aimed to examine the association between intraoperative PRBC transfusions and postoperative delirium in a general adult patient population undergoing a broad spectrum of surgical procedures.

They hypothesized that PRBC transfusions are associated with a higher risk of postoperative delirium, and that this depended on perioperative hemoglobin levels.”
