Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing a Restrictive Versus Liberal Transfusion Strategy in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease
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.
