How much blood required for bypass surgery for heart in india, taking family with me to donate?

CABG in India: Recently most surgeons and their staff are reducing the amount of blood used in cardiac surgery. Would check with the surgeon to be sure.

None.: Hopefully you will not need any blood transfusions. But if your family is interested in donating blood just in case, you still need to see if their blood type is compatible. Not all family members are compatible.
