Congenital Heart Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
To evaluate if there is any clinical difference in patients 3.5-12kg who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass that do and do not receive blood products as part of their procedure. The main hypothesis of the study is that the patients undergoing bloodless cardiac surgery will have decreased morbidity and mortality when compared to the cohort that did receive blood as well as a shorter ICU and hospital length of stay.
Interventions
OTHERblood use for priming cardiopulmonary bypass circuit
one arm will have the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit primed with blood
OTHERclear prime for cardiopulmonary bypass
this arm will not have bypass circuit primed with blood
