Transfusion of blood components in surgery of liver metastases

The article presents an analysis of the volume of blood loss and its correction by transfusion of blood components for various types of liver resection. The study included 103 patients who underwent liver resection of metastatic lesions. The volume of blood loss ranged from 50 ml to 1700 ml, averaged 454.4 ± 353.0 ml. During surgery, transfusion of red blood cells were required by 52 (50.5%) patients. Transfusion of fresh frozen plasma were performed in 69 (67.0%) patients. The average volume of transfusions of fresh frozen plasma was 569.0 ± 153.8 ml. The main purpose of using fresh frozen plasma was to create conditions for preventing violations of the blood coagulation system.
