About this trial
The purpose of this study is to prospectively study the safety of salvage red blood cell (sRBC) transfusion during pancreatic surgery.
Primary Objective:
1. To summarize rates and timing of septic adverse events (AE) for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 2. To summarize rates and timing of transfusion related AEs for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 3. To summarize rates and timing of AEs in the first 7 post-operative days.
Secondary Objectives:
1. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused post operative day (POD) #0 after sRBC transfusion in the operating room. 2. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused POD#1-7 after sRBC transfusion the operating room, in the absence of overt post-operative hemorrhage.
