Avoidance of blood transfusion during open-heart surgery has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, some of which are: renal failure, stroke, pneumonia and post-operative death.

Our cardiac surgery team has performed open-heart surgery with a remarkably low transfusion rate for the past decade. Meticulous technique, vigilant care, and consistent advancement in patient blood management have resulted in a process which allows approximately 80% of heart surgery at Englewood Hospital to be performed without blood or blood product transfusions. This includes all open-heart procedures (reoperations, aneurysms, aortic dissections etc.).

Englewood Hospital is now a widely renowned center for patients and institutions seeking expertise regarding the use of blood products during openheart procedures. Patients travel to us from all parts of the U.S. to be cared for by our team. As a result, our hospital is adept at dealing with out-of-state issues regarding patient preparation and consultation prior to surgery.
Englewood Hospital and Medical Center is committed to bloodless medicine. 80% of heart surgery at to be performed without the transfusion of blood or blood products.
