Description
Summary:Removal of pro inflammatory stimuli after CABG, wound closure and the regenerative ability of the bone marrow will ensure a gradual recovery of hematological parameters. The aim of this study was to assess the hematological changes after CABG. A prospective cohort study included 164 consecutive patients undergoing on pump CABG surgery between January 2012 and January 2013. Patients with primary hematologic disease, emergent or urgent CABG and off-pump CABG were not included. A time line protocol was employed. All patients survived surgery. Average values of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and hematocrit declined, to reach lower values on day 3 after surgery (-33.6 %, -33.1 %, -32.6 % versus preoperative value, p
