This case report describes the use of the pumpoxygenator as a rapid infusion system during the resection of a liver tumor in a 12 month old child. All banked blood was washed in a cell washer before addition to the oxygenator to avoid the deleterious effects of hyperkalemia, acidosis and ionic hypocalcemia. The blood was warmed and recirculated in the perfusion circuit to provide volume replacement when necessary during the surgical procedure. The patient made an uneventful recovery after receiving transfusions exceeding 4½ times the patient’s estimated blood volume.
Key words: Autotransfusion / Liver resection / Rapid infusion system
