Does hemodilutional anemia impair neurologic outcome after cardiopulmonary bypass in a piglet model?
Excessive hemodilution, such as a hematocrit of less than 15%, may be associated with a high incidence of neurologic injury. Further studies are required to determine the safety limits of hematocrit during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass.
A low serum vitamin D levels in children is associated with high triglyceride levels.
