Obvious causes include surgical bleeding and gastrointestinal haemorrhage but many patients have no overt bleeding episodes. Phlebotomy can be a significant source of blood loss.

We tried to determine if a blood conservation pressure transducer system reduced blood transfusions, increased haemoglobin concentration or reduced line infections in critically ill patients. One hundred patients were randomly allocated to conventional or blood conserving systems attached to systemi
We measured the plasma levels of tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) to examine the relationship between TFPI and vascular endothelial cell injury. Plasma TF (273 Β± 90 pg/ml) and TFPI (252 Β± 125 ng/ml) levels wer
