case_images: The other two donations were collected at 37- and 38-weeks gestation and kept fresh in inventory (Figure 1). Frozen units were deglycerolized and washed to minimize transfusion of maternal alloantibodies shortly prior to surgery (Figure 1). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) lasted 183 min (EBL 50 mL), and 40 mL of maternal RBCs (Figure 1), 30 mL of platelets, 20 mL of frozen plasma, and 20 mL of cryoprecipitates were transfused. Units were transfused without complication between the day of surgery and postoperative day (POD) 3 (Figure 1).
