Cardiopulmonary bypass in infants without the use of blood or blood products poses serious challenges for the cardiac surgical team. Excessive hemodilution may compromise how an infant will tolerate the procedure. We describe the methods used to provide cardiopulmonary bypass without blood for a 3.97 kg infant of Jehovah’s Witness parents. The surgical repair was successful and the child was discharged without receiving any blood or blood products.
Key words: hemodilution / hematocrit / Jehovah’s Witness / bloodless prime
