The relation between preoperative haemoglobin level and perioperative morbidity: a prospective study

This is prospective study conducted on 100 consecutive patients who underwent various surgical procedures for cleft lip and palate deformity. The patients were divided into two groups i.e GroupA preoperative haemoglobin between 8-10g/dl and Group B Hb more than 10g/dl. The haemodynamic parameter such as oxygen saturation heart rate, blood pressure, blood loss were compared between the two groups. Statistical evaluation of the results showed that there were no significant differences in the haemodynamic parameters perioperatively.
