Popis: Surgical techniques that have been used during liver transplantation (LT) together with patient's coagulation profile and institutional practices are reported to have an effect on transfusion requirements. The aim of this study is to evaluate the transfusion requirement in both cadaveric (CDLT, n = 22) and living donor (LDLT, n = 24) pediatric LT performed in our institution. Balanced general anesthesia was used for all patients. Transfusion requirements were met to maintain a hemoglobin concentration of 8-10 g/dL, platelet level >50 x 10(3)/mL, prothrombin time
