Figure 3

Comparison of perioperative blood loss between groups. Total blood loss includes the amount of blood lost intraoperatively and the blood collected in the chest tubes. Calculated blood loss was determined according to a formula adapted from a previous publication [17] (see Materials and methods section). Red bars represent the human albumin group, and blue bars represent the hydroxyethyl starch group. Data are mean ± standard deviation. #P <0.001.
