Implication

Early descriptive data in congenital heart disease should not guide current practice; leaves open need for modern prospective validation.

Structured PICO

What are the blood volume, hemoglobin, and plasma protein levels in patients with tetralogy of Fallot and other congenital heart diseases?

Population

16 patients with congenital heart disease (7 cases of tetralogy of Fallot, 4 cases of isolated septal defect, 1 case of Eisenmenger complex, 1 case of isolated pulmonic stenosis, 1 case of coarctation of the aorta, 1 case of congenital mitral stenosis, and 1 case of patent ductus arteriosus)

Intervention

Measurement of blood volume, hemoglobin, and plasma protein

Outcome

Blood volume, hemoglobin, and plasma protein levelssurrogate

This early study aimed to characterize blood volume and related hematologic parameters in patients with tetralogy of Fallot and other congenital heart diseases to aid in diagnosis and perioperative management.
