Blood Conservation for Infants and Children Undergoing Surgery for Acquired and Congenital Heart Diseases

  • 178 Accesses

Abstract

Surgery for congenital heart disease dates to the very birth of the practice of clinical cardiac surgery in the early 1930s. In spite of this fact, the ability to conserve the use of blood products and to preserve the patient’s own circulating red blood cell mass has been one of the major challenges facing cardiac surgeons today. Although many lessons have been learned and applied from the practice of adult cardiac surgical blood conservation including mechanical, pharmacologic, and adjunctive measures, professionals treating children with congenital heart disease realized very quickly that they are not small adults, and therefore special challenges and special technical and pharmacologic considerations are required.
