Figure 1 The course of blood hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations during cardiac surgery is given for neonates without intraoperative blood transfusion (w/o blood) and with blood transfusion (with blood). Means ± SEM; ∗P < .05 versus pre Op; #P < .05 w/o blood versus with blood. CPB, Cardiopulmonary bypass.

Figure 2 Cerebral tissue oxygenation (cerebral rSo2) as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy during cardiac surgery is given for neonates without intraoperative blood transfusion (w/o blood) and with blood transfusion (with blood). Means ± SEM; ∗P < .05 versus pre-Op. Differences between groups were not significant. CPB, Cardiopulmonary bypass.

Figure 3 Lower body tissue oxygenation (Lower Body rSO2) as determined by near-infrared spectroscopy on the infant’s calf during cardiac surgery is given for neonates without intraoperative blood transfusion (w/o blood) and with blood transfusion (with blood). Means ± SEM; ∗P < .05 versus pre-Op. Differences between groups were not significant. CPB, Cardiopulmonary bypass.
