Abstract: OBJECTIVES In paediatric cardiac surgery, body weight-adjusted miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits within a comprehensive blood-sparing approach can reduce transfusion requirements. Haemodilution resulting from mixing the patient's blood with a CPB crystalloid solution may be… read more here.
