Although it is vital, blood transfusion adverse effects and risks are not unlikely. Therefore, it is better to minimize blood transfusion. In this study, we have tired to estimate necessary blood volume requirement in proportion to preoperative patient hematocrite level and burn percentage that would eventually lower inappropriate blood use.   Materials and Methods This prospective study was done on all patients undergoing debridement and grafting skin surgery through 6 months. Demographic data, burn percentage, reserved and transfused blood, preoperative and postoperative Hct level were recorded. Qualified data were analyzed with Chi - square and regression analysis (p-value }, URL = {http://bloodjournal.ir/article-1-334-en.html}, eprint = {http://bloodjournal.ir/article-1-334-en.pdf}, journal = {The Scientific Journal of Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization}, doi = {}, year = {2009} }
