Objective:

To evaluate the accuracy and agreement of three widely used blood-loss estimation methods-visual estimation, gravimetric measurement, and the Gross formula method-against the reference HbMass method in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).

Methods:

A single-center retrospective cohort study included 1000 consecutive elective PLIF patients (2021-2024). Intra-operative blood loss was quantified intra-procedurally by visual, gravimetric, and Gross formula method approaches; HbMass was calculated from pre- and post-operative hemoglobin with patient blood volume estimated by the Nadler equation. Agreement was assessed with Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement (LoA) and Spearman correlation; sensitivity analyses examined fusion extent, irrigation volume, and sampling timing.

Results:

Mean blood loss was 663.8 ± 155.6 mL by HbMass. Visual, gravimetric, and Gross estimates averaged 456.5 ± 175.0 mL, 599.8 ± 167.5 mL, and 608.0 ± 115.0 mL, respectively (all P < 0.001). Correlation with HbMass was negligible (ρ = 0.185), weak (ρ = 0.424), and moderate-to-strong (ρ = 0.742). Bland-Altman biases (95% LoA) were - 238.85 mL (- 631.46, 153.76), - 45.33 mL (- 377.55, 286.90), and - 28.57 mL (- 216.66, 159.52). Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness.

Conclusion:

Among routine methods, the Gross formula method offers the smallest bias and narrowest agreement limits versus HbMass, whereas visual estimation is clinically unreliable. PLIF-enhanced recovery pathways should replace sole reliance on visual assessment with the Gross formula method, supplemented by HbMass in high-risk cases, to optimize peri-operative volume therapy and reduce transfusion-related complications.

Line Loss

Line Loss

The different configurations of source-load connections include wye (star) and delta connections. The relationship between line and phase voltages and currents varies depending on the configuration. When the source is supplying power, it is transmitted through the wires to the load, and during this transmission, some power is absorbed by the wires, leading to line loss.
Line loss impacts power delivery efficiency in a balanced three-phase circuit. The symmetry in such a circuit simplifies the...

Reducing Line Loss

Reducing Line Loss

In a three-phase circuit, line loss is an indicator of energy dissipated as heat due to the resistance of transmission lines. To address this, incorporating transformers into the system—a step-up transformer at the source and a step-down transformer at the load—is a strategic solution. Two three-phase transformers are introduced to improve this.
With a step-up transformer at the source, the voltage is increased, thereby reducing the current in the transmission lines since power loss in...

Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)

Measuring blood pressure is a fundamental skill in healthcare that aids in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. An aneroid sphygmomanometer, commonly used in clinical settings, offers a manual and precise method for blood pressure measurement. The technique for using this instrument involves specific steps that must be carefully executed to ensure accuracy. The following detailed description outlines a two-step technique for assessing blood pressure using...

Major Losses in Pipes

Major Losses in Pipes

When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to viscous...

Minor Losses in Pipes

Minor Losses in Pipes

In pipe systems, minor losses refer to energy losses arising from components such as valves, bends, fittings, expansions, and other features that disrupt the steady flow of fluid. These disturbances cause energy dissipation through turbulence and resistance, which engineers quantify to manage system efficiency effectively.
Valves play a significant role in generating minor losses by obstructing or redirecting the fluid flow. When a valve is closed or partially closed, it restricts the flow...
