Blood Conservation in Patients (3.5-12kg) Undergoing Congenital Cardiac Surgery

May 30, 2023 updated by: Augusta University

Differences in Outcomes for Patients (3.5-12kg) Undergoing Congenital Cardiac Surgery Who Receive Blood Versus Those Who do Not

To evaluate if there is any clinical difference in patients 3.5-12kg who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass that do and do not receive blood products as part of their procedure. The main hypothesis of the study is that the patients undergoing bloodless cardiac surgery will have decreased morbidity and mortality when compared to the cohort that did receive blood as well as a shorter ICU and hospital length of stay.
