From: Propranolol attenuates hemorrhage and accelerates wound healing in severely burned adults
Propranolol significantly stabilizes perioperative hematocrit levels. Patients receiving propranolol maintained perioperative hematocrit levels compared to control patients. Propranolol was associated with a 1.6% improvement in perioperative hematocrit levels during grafting procedures with a graft area of 100 cm2, 2.5% improvement with 300 cm2, 3.6% improvement with 1,000 cm2, 5.2% improvement with 4,000 cm2, and 7.1% improvement with 16,000 cm2 (P = 0.002). Data are presented as adjusted mean ± 95% confidence intervals (shaded).
