Investigation of the Relationship Between Blood Transfusion Volume and Development of Renal Failure in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery

Blood transfusion strategies in cardiac surgery are a research topic that has been studied more for adults. There is not enough data on this subject for children in studies. Investigators aim to examine the renal damage risk level of blood transfusion volume, which is one of the modifiable risk factors that can cause acute kidney injury in pediatric cases undergoing cardiac surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of blood transfusion volume on the risk of renal damage in pediatric cardiovascular surgery? The names of the patients who were operated on by the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery will be accessed from the system records and their files will be reviewed. The patients' demographic information, anesthesia management and postoperative renal function tests will be scanned.
