PRICE-2 trial out @LancetGastroHep : Hypovolemic phlebotomy (7-10 mL/kg) versus usual care for liver resection w high risk of blood loss. Primary outcome: blood transfusion —> Phlebotomy 8% —> Usual care 16% Severe complication rate similar (17% vs 16%) www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
thelancet.com
Hypovolaemic phlebotomy in patients undergoing hepatic resection at higher risk of blood loss (PRICE-2): a randomised controlled trial
In patients undergoing liver resection, hypovolaemic phlebotomy reduced perioperative red blood cell transfusion and improved operative conditions, with no statistically significant increase in the incidence of complications compared with usual care. Hypovolaemic phlebotomy should be considered for routine use in patients undergoing liver resection at higher risk of bleeding.

To see surgical pictures, like the ones published in journals: go to the WEBSITE bsky.app, then “settings”, then “moderation” and allow adult content. You can then select what you want to see. This can’t be done in the app. #medsky #orthosky Please amplify. This is a huge problem on this site
