Text: Compared with the placebo group, patients who received desmopressin had less blood loss in 24 h (mean 624 [SD 209] vs 1028 mL [682] p = 0. 0004) and required less transfusion of red blood cells (1. 1 [022] vs 2. 2 U [0. 32] p = 0. 009), platelets (0. 1 [0. 04] vs 1. 9 U [4. 5] p = 0. 0001), and fresh-frozen plasma (0. 1 [0. 07] vs 0. 75 U [0. 21] p = 0. 0008), and had less total blood-donor exposures (1. 56 [0. 31] vs 5. 2 [0. 8] p = 0. 0001).
