Would open heart surgery before the 1980s have required blood transfusions? |
I'm just looking into something for my family. My grandmother had a congenital heart defect and had at least 2 open heart surgeries before she died. I'm not sure when she died; I just know it was before I was born, which was 1982. I know nothing about surgeries these days, let alone from way back then. So, would those have required blood transfusions at all? Thanks! yes ofcourse and many units of blood , more so then than now |
