Study Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of using a blood conservation device with an indwelling catheter on the rate of hemoglobin concentration decline over the course of 10 days in patients in the ICU. Only patients with admission hemoglobin concentrations of 115 g/L or higher were included in this study.
Summary of Findings:
Use of a blood conservation device in patients with an indwelling catheter did not significantly affect the rate of hemoglobin concentration decline in specimens drawn over the course of the patients' stays in the ICU (3.1% per day) compared to specimens from patients with no blood conservation device (3.4% per day).
