General surgery in Jehovah's witnesses--personal experience: a 22-year analysis.

E B Smith.   

Abstract

The author has had experience with 73 surgical patients who professed the Jehovah Witness faith. The refusal of blood transfusions created problems in circulatory fluid volume, respiratory exchange, and wound healing. The surgical complication rate was excessive and the most frequent was wound infection in 79.4 percent of cases and an overall mortality of 1.4 percent.
