| Hgb (arrival) | Hgb (nadir) | Base excess | Shock index | Transfusion requirements (units) | Creatinine (arrival) | Creatinine (peak) | ICU-LOS (days) | Total hospitalization (days) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case 1 | 14 | 8.4 | −7 | 0.81 | 5 | 1.3 | 1.8 | 3 | 4 |
| Case 2 | 8.9 | -- | −12 | 1.19 | 8 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 3 | 4 |
| Hgb – hemoglobin; ICU-LOS – Intensive Care Unit length of stay (rounded to nearest day). Shock index (worst preoperative value) is for heart rate/systolic blood pressure. Transfusion requirement includes total packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. | |||||||||
