Background and Aim: One of the common complications in craniotomy operations is bleeding, which is associated with serious complications and is sometimes life-threatening.
This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between suction blood volume and blood gas values with hemoglobin drop rate after craniotomy surgery and to identify factors affecting it in hospitalized patients. So that the doctor can use the results of this research to predict the amount of blood loss during the operation and avoid unnecessary blood transfusion in the patient.
Methods and Materials/Patients: 97 patients with a history of craniotomy surgery in the first 6 months of 2019 were included in the study. The information of the patients were recorded based on laboratory documentation. To calculate the volume of blood lost during the operation, the volume of blood suctioned from the operation description sheet and the volume of blood absorbed by gauzes were calculated and recorded by weighing them. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics software version 22.
Results: The average age of the patients was 55.11 years and 59.8% were male.Hypertension was associated with 93.9% of the most common diseases and 32% of patients received blood during the operation. Based on the results of this study, blood volume, blood gauzes, suctioned blood and total blood volume are significantly related to hemoglobin drop and their ability to predict hemoglobin drop is 6.6%, 14.1% and 11.2% respectively. Be The cut-off point for excessive bleeding was calculated as 110.75 cc for blood gas weight, 275 cc for suctioned blood volume, and 391.8 cc for total bleeding volume.
Conclusion: The effect coefficient of blood weight of blood gauzes is higher than whole blood and suctioned blood respectively in predicting the amount of hemoglobin drop-in craniotomy surgery.

- Accurate calculation of blood lost by a combined method (suctioned blood and blood absorbed by blood gauzes) helps to reduce postoperative complications.
- Measuring the blood volume of consumed gauzes can be very effective in predicting the patient's hemoglobin drop.
- Hemoglobin changes have a significant relationship with blood weight obtained from blood gauzes, volume of suctioned blood and also with the number of blood gauzes.
