  • Title: Use of recombinant human erythropoietin to avoid blood transfusion in a Jehovah's Witness requiring hemispherectomy. Case report.
    Author: Schiff SJ, Weinstein SL.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1993 Oct; 79(4):600-2. PubMed ID: 8410232.
    Abstract:
    The use of perioperative human recombinant erythropoietin is described in a Jehovah's Witness patient. Despite significant anemia, the child's hematocrit was sufficiently increased by the use of erythropoietin so that a two-stage hemispherectomy could be performed without blood transfusion.
