AI-driven Clinical Decision Support for Perioperative Blood Orders (NCT07223853)
Intelligent Clinical Decision Support for Preoperative Blood Management: A Cluster-Randomized Clinical Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
20 million patients have surgery in the United States every year, with approximately 1 million of those patients requiring life-saving blood transfusion. Presurgical preparation for transfusion is important to allow for safe and timely transfusion during surgery; however, excessive preparation is unfortunately common, costly, and contributes to blood waste. This study aims to evaluate an intelligent clinical decision support system that helps clinicians prepare blood for patients who are likely to need it, while avoiding excessive preparation for patients who don't, potentially improving patient safety while reducing blood waste and healthcare costs.
