The use of plasma for priming the circuit has been challenged because it is associated with haemodilution and eventually leads to increased bleeding and mortality; however, the use of circuit priming with plasma is common practice for us and we believe that our results support its potential beneficial effect, as reflected by the R values in the cohort following cardiopulmonary bypass.

36) A 6% level of transient hypocalcaemia (48 hours postoperatively) is lower than the 19-38% range quoted by a recent review and meta-analysis, (36) the varied timing from surgery to calcium assay may explain this wide margin (various authors assay serum calcium between 6 to 72 hours after surgery); however, calcium values generally may be influenced by perioperative factors like postoperative haemodilution, handling of parathyroid gland leading to calcitonin release, urinary calcium excretion facilitated by surgical stress, Vitamin D deficiency and hungry bone syndrome.

Several factors cause a more profound systemic inflammatory response in neonates and infants compared to older children or adults: (1) the surface and the volume of the CPB circuit relative to the blood volume and patient size, (2) more frequent use of hypothermic circulatory arrest, and (3) more pronounced haemodilution [6].
