Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Preparing appropriate red blood cells (RBCs) before surgery is crucial for improving both the efficacy of perioperative workflow and patient safety. In particular, thoracic surgery (TS) is a procedure that requires massive transfusion with high variability for each patient. Hence, the precise prediction of RBC requirements for individual patients is becoming increasingly important. This study aimed to 1) develop and validate a machine learning algorithm for personalized RBC predictions for TS patients and 2) assess the usability of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) integrating this artificial intelligence model.
