Restrictive Versus Liberal Transfusion Protocol in Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Impaired Oxygen Delivery, Congenital Heart Disease

In brief

In neonates and infants \</= 10 kg following cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease a more restrictive red blood cell (RBC) transfusion strategy will be as effective as, and possibly superior to, a liberal RBC strategy. Allowing lower hemoglobin concentration will not affect the cardiac or pulmonary status of the patient.
