[The transfusion and blood transfusion in pediatric patients with palatoplasty]

OBJECTIVE: To study whether the pediatric patients with palatoplasty needs blood transfusion and the rational combination of transfusion during operation,in order to provide a basis for the management of clinical anesthesia and postoperative recovery in children.METHODS:20 subjects without blood transfusion were selected,the combination of transfusion during the operation was 5% glucose solution,sodium lactate ringers solution,gelofusine.The intraoperative and postoperative circulation, hemoglobulin, hematocrit were compared with the preoperative data.RESULTS:Both the intraoperative and the postoperative circulation of all subjects were steady, having no significant difference from the data base(P>0.05), the values of hemoglobulin and hematocrit descended,but were in the normal limit(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: During palatoplasty in pediatric patients, if transfusion was apporpriate, steady circulation can be substained without boold transfusion,which saved the blood, and avoided the side effects of blood transfusion.
