Open-heart surgery without homologous blood transfusion in infants and children under simple deep hypothermia.
To investigate the hematological changes during the perioperative period of open-heart surgery without homologous blood transfusion under simple deep hypothermia in infants and small children, and to define the limits of body weight for open-heart surgery without homologous blood transfusion under simple deep hypothermia. ⋯ The body weight of the patients ranged from 2.5 to 15.0 kg (mean±SD, 9.5±3.5 kg) and the blood loss from 0.7 to 7.1g·kg-1 (4.6±2.0g·kg-1) The lowest values of the hematological findings in each case after surgery were as follows: Hb ranged from 7.6 to 10.9g·dl-1 (8.8±1.0g·dl-1), blood platelet count from 158×103 to 337×103 cells·µℓ-1-agonist (271±88 ×103 cells·µℓ-1-agonist, and total protein from 4.3 to 5.5 g·dl-1 (5.0±0.4g·dl-1) CONCLUSION: Severe anemia and hypoproteinemia were not detected in any case, and, in particular, the reduction of the platelet count was slight. No events occurred as a result of decreased Hb concentration, serum protein, or both.

Effect of ONO-1101, a novel short-acting β-blocker on hemodynamic responses to isoflurane inhalation and tracheal intubation.
We investigated the effect of a new ultrashort-acting β-blocker, ONO-1101, on hemodynamic responses to isoflurane inhalation and tracheal intubation. ⋯ ONO-1101 infusion is effective for the attenuation of hemodynamic responses to isoflurane inhalation and tracheal intubation.
