“…Several studies have shown the feasibility of autologous blood donation for elective surgery in children [3-81, but they did not include very young children. Based on our earlier experience [2], we studied the possibility of using this method in children weighing 8-25 kg, in order to answer three questions. (1) Can phlebotomies be performed and obtain a sufficient amount of blood for processing and storage?…”

“…(1) Will the phlebotomies be possible, given the narrowness of the peripheral veins and the restlessness and apprehension of very young children? (2) Will they be well tolerated, hemodynamically and psychologically? (3) Can an amount ofblood sufficient to compensate surgical blood loss be withdrawn?…”

To determine whether autologous blood donation can be used safely and efficiently in children weighing 8-25 kg, we studied children whose perioperative blood losses were expected to exceed 25% of total blood volume. Blood donations were performed in pediatric units, under the direction of an anesthesiologist and a blood bank physician experienced in paediatric care. Twenty-four children, median age 6 years (1-13), were included. They underwent surgery mainly for digestive or urological disorders, and for orthopedic defects. Forty blood collections were performed of the 46 prescribed. Phlebotomies could not be performed in 1 child because of the mother's apprehension, and in 5 cases because of venous access problems. All phlebotomies were hemodynamically well tolerated. Hemodilution was also performed in 17 children, and cell saver used in 2. Allogeneic blood transfusion was avoided in 21/24 children.
