bloodless heart transplant. has anyone gone threw it?


Question:
i need information on bloodless surgery

Answers:
Very tricky, but it can be done. Many heart surgeons try to limit the amount of blood they use routinely, and use blood only when they really really need it. The problem with a surgery like this is that a lot of bleeding may occur during or after the surgery. Some surgeons may not be willing to operate without blood being available. They can refer you to a physician that may be willing to operate without blood being available. They can use special drugs to try to prevent the use of blood, though these do not prevent the need for blood in all cases. They can use intraoperative blood cell salvage and also perioperative hemodilution, but some religions are against these options as well. If you are opposed to blood transfusions due to strict religious beliefs, you should consult your religious health care advocate to discuss which options are available. Your wishes to not receive blood will be honored, but the consequences of withholding blood is sometimes death or brain damage.

No, but I do know that Good Samaritan Hospital in downtown Los Angeles does bloodless surgeries. You might want to get in contact with them.
