Hypothermia at surgery end has no association with postoperative RBC transfusion in massively transfused cardiac surgery patients, but pH derangements are associated with increased postoperative transfusion. Thus, normalization of blood pH may be important in reducing postoperative bleeding in massively transfused cardiac surgery patients.
