Abstract
Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass techniques following preoperative transfusions to increase the hemoglobin A levels to above 60%, in a male patient with sickle cell disease [SCD] is described. Avoidance of hypoxia and acidosis lead to an uneventful perioperative period. Our institutional protocol for preoperative transfusions is highlighted.Entities:
