Summary

To inversitage whether routine warming of blood is harmful to brain fuction of sugical patients receiving massive transfusion.

Detailed description

Hypothermia is an effective therapeutic intervention to reduce hypoxic ischemia brain injury in animal experiments and in clinics.In a recent study, it has been shown that perioperative warming was associated with a higher incidence of cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients.Therefore, we hypothesised that perioperative heating transfusion have a side effect on brain function of surgical patients.
