The main aim of This application is a useful tool to Provide for health professionals (anesthesiologists, critical care physicians and emergancy ...) in order to get Estimated values ​​of patient bleeding, with high accuracy and probably enough, from a clinical point of view , THUS Appropriate treatment to make decisions, Together with other signs and symptoms in a clinical context.

The formulas used in esta application are not yet clinically validated, so it Should be limited to research and validation porpose.

The reason That inspires the development of esta bleeding calculator is twofold:

1- The patient bleeding assessment based on objetive data (The quantity of drainage: surgical aspirators, Gauzès, compresses, blood over the operating room floor ...) is not accurate enough, and it Tends to underestimate the bleeding calculation. It doesn't include the hidden bleeding in soft tissues, cavities ...

2- There are many mathematical formulas to calculate the bleeding patient, based on analytic parameters. None of them have Demonstrated to get a very high accuracy. All of them assume That patient's blood volume remains constant. This premise does not Have Necessary to be true in all cases, since it depends on the correct replacement of intravascular blood volume, parallel and consistent With bleeding. This situation of intravascular euvolemia, equaling the previous values ​​at the start of bleeding, in General is not Achieved Until Often after 48-72 hours surgery.

Given esta need for a useful tool in the operating room, or in the hospital setting, designed to show During the early hours of bleeding, we offer esta application, in order to be Assessed and WHO EVALUATED by professionals wish to Improve clinical practice. This tool Could Obtain a high beneficial impact on the blood transfusion management, and Also in the environment of blood conservation programs.
