Abstract
- Despite increased interest in bloodless cardiac surgery, its use has been mostly confined to adult patients. Especially, bloodless pediatric cardiovascular surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass has been avoided mainly due to hemodilution. Authors recently experienced a case of bloodless cardiac surgery in a 2.8 kg-weighing neonate whose parents were Jehovah's Witness.
