Significats de preoperative autologous en anglès

This study clarifies the clinical significance of preoperative autologous donation of blood in small children.

Twenty-five age- and weight-matched patients who were not cooperative or refused preoperative autologous donation served as control subjects.

Studies that reported use of transfusion protocols found less benefit with preoperative autologous donation, although the difference was not statistically significant.

There is a direct relationship between the transfusion rate in the control group and the benefit derived from preoperative autologous donation.

Methods: Group 1 consisted of 51 patients between 5 and 10 years old who underwent preoperative autologous blood donation.

Objective: Preoperative autologous donation of blood has been expanded to cardiac operations in children.

Conclusion: Preoperative autologous donation can be performed safely with clinical efficacy, even in children under 20 kg.
