Significant reduction in blood product usage, same early outcomes: Blood conservation in infants undergoing open heart surgery
Blood conservation is associated with significant reduction in usage of blood products during open heart surgery in infants with no significant effect on early outcomes. This trend is observed across all categories of surgical complexity. Additional studies are needed to prove consistency and to determine the longer-term clinical impact of this strategy.
