hypotension deep and omitting the papers without
any indication of blood pressure control, we find a
group of 2123 procedures (Table 15, Table 16).
The groups of normotension are small groups, but
both are prospective, well-controlled studies with
radial artery catheter measurements of mean arterial
pressure. The least that can be said from these figures
is that controlled deep hypotension (MAP between
50–65 mm Hg) seems not to influence the transfusion
need more than controlled mild hypotension.
It seems difficult to compare the mean blood loss in
this series, but the spread in reported mean blood
losses varies from 256.7 mL (Ueki et al., 2005) 21 to
1300 mL (Böttger, 2007). 4

The statistical methods used in Table 15 and Table
16 calculated 95% exact confidence intervals (CI)
for the individual studies. The overall transfusion
rates and corresponding 95% confidence intervals
are estimated using a probit-normal model. No
significant interaction between predonation and
hypotension could be shown (p=0.8072). After
correction for predonation, no significant effect of
hypotension could be shown (p=0.9616).

Because Flood et al. (1990) 11 seems to be an outlier
concerning their transfusion policy, these data
were not retained. The papers by Kasahara et al.
