“…30 Stored blood also has lower concentrations of 2,3 diphosphoglycerate, which reduces oxygen delivery to peripheral tissue. 31,32 Transfusions have been reported to be associated with increased levels of proinflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and bactericidal permeability-increasing protein. 32 Each of these mechanisms might promote peripheral or myocardial ischemia.…”

“…Patients undergoing cardiac surgery manifest a noninfectious inflammatory response reflected by increased concentrations of inflammatory mediators [20]. Moreover, transfusion affects the release of inflammatory mediators [21]. Taken together, these findings support the immunosuppressive effect of blood transfusion with corresponding susceptibility to bacterial infection.…”

“…[20] In patients with other active organic problems in addition to this inflammatory activity, such as AKI, lung injury, or sepsis and in patients with a high blood transfusion rate, prolonged ventilation time, and re-exploration in the postoperative period, postoperative morbidity and mortality increase. [20,21] There are several studies showing that postoperative AKI is associated with worse postoperative early and late outcomes. [3] Patients with AKI in the postoperative period have a higher infection and sepsis rate with longer intensive care unit stay and higher mortality rate, while they need more intra-aortic balloon pump and inotropic support.…”
