The Correlational Study of Percentage of Heamoglobin in Patients who are Undergoing Split Skin Graft Procedure
Dr. Madhusudhan K R, Dr. Nishikant Gujar
Abstract: The study evaluates the impact of anemia on wound healing and skin graft uptake in patients undergoing split skin grafting. Conducted in a tertiary care setting, the research involved 50 patients, divided based on hemoglobin (Hb) levels?Group A with Hb < 10 g/dL and Group B with Hb ? 10 g/dL. After surgical intervention and routine wound care, the skin graft take was assessed on the 10th postoperative day, revealing no significant difference in graft acceptance between the groups. The findings suggest that maintaining Hb levels at or above 10 g/dL may not be essential for successful wound healing in mild to moderate anemia cases, where adequate circulatory volume compensates for oxygen demand. Thus, prophylactic transfusion may be unnecessary for such patients, emphasizing a need to re - evaluate transfusion practices in surgical care.
