Observational StudyRelationship Between Transfusion of Blood Products and the Incidence of Thrombotic Complications in Neonates and Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
The authors hypothesized that transfusion of blood products in neonates and infants undergoing high-risk cardiac surgery in the absence of intraoperative coagulation monitoring increases the risk of thrombotic complications. ⋯ This prospective observational study reports a significant association between transfusion of blood products in neonates and young infants undergoing cardiac surgery and an increased incidence of thrombotic complications in the absence of intraoperative coagulation monitoring.
