Identified after years of research by leading cardiothoracic surgeons and other medical professionals, Retained Blood Syndrome (RBS) is the composite of drainage-related complications following cardiothoracic surgery. | |
RBS complications can occur at any stage of recovery and may include hemothorax, pericardial tamponade, bloody pleural or pericardial effusion, postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), acute kidney injury and stroke. | |
Historically, each of the complications have been diagnosed and treated separately. Medical experts now realize that the common root cause is the pooling of blood and other fluids in the chest cavity. | |

title: What Causes RBS? | |
description: |+ | |
Retained blood occurs when conventional chest tubes are blocked by coagulated blood. This causes blood to be retained internally, resulting in a host of post-surgical complications. | |
A recent prospective study found that 36% of patients suffer from completely blocked chest tubes. Worse yet, 86% of those occlusions were under the skin and therefore invisible to the bedside caregivers. | |
