Factors affecting efficacy of packed red blood cell transfusion in neonates
Abstract
The degree of increase in haematocrit and equilibration time following packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion in neonates is not well studied. We evaluated change in haematocrit 15 min, 6 h and 24 h after PRBC transfusion in neonates and factors predicting this change. Among neonates receiving PRBC transfusion, we recorded pre-transfusion haematocrit and a priori identified putative variables affecting change in haematocrit following …
