Abstract

transfusions (1160 vs 700 mL) were higher in children <10 Kg group than in ≥10 Kg group. There was no correlation between the previous abdominal surgery, GRWR, and operative time with transfusions in both groups, probably because of the small sample size. Overall survival was 92.3%. Conclusion: This study is an effort to show descriptive data of our center’s experience with regard to intra-operative transfusion requirement during LT in this small-sized patient population. Transfusion need for pediatric LT should be individualized for each patient based on the intra-operative conditions including surgical and patient features.
