[Hemoglobin levels and weight gain after coronary bypass grafting by use of intraoperative hemodilution and autologous blood transfusion].
We investigated the relationship between the degree of hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and weight gain after coronary bypass grafting by use of intraoperative hemodilution and autologous blood transfusion. There is no significant difference in weight gain between the higher hemoglobin group (Hb > or = 6 g.dl-1) and the lower hemoglobin group (Hb < 6 g.dl-1). Furthermore, there is no significant correlation between hemoglobin levels during CPB and weight gain after operation. We conclude that slightly excessive hemodilution than usual during CPB does not influence weight gain when cardiac and renal functions are fair.
