Preoperative aspirin was associated with more drainage but not transfusions in cell-salvage CABG; leaves open optimal preoperative management pending randomized data.
Does aspirin within 1 week prior to surgery increase homologous blood requirements in patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery?
Preoperative aspirin increases postoperative bleeding but does not increase the need for homologous blood transfusions when autologous cell salvaging techniques are used during elective CABG.
Reich et al. (1994) studied this question.
