[1] Most extremely preterm babies (less than 28 weeks) require at least one red cell transfusion; [2] this is partly due to the amount of blood removed with blood samples compared to the baby's total blood volume (iatrogenic anemia) [3] and partly due to anemia of prematurity.
The flow through a central venous catheter accommodates high blood flows [2] [6] (ml s /min) to achieve blood separation and remove the appropriate isolated blood component. [1] [2] Pediatric considerations for central access include (but not limited to) size of veins, size of catheter for insertion, maturity of pediatric patient and the ...
Exchange transfusion - Exchange transfusion is used when bilirubin reaches either the high or medium risk lines on the normogram provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics (Figure 4). [19] Cord bilirubin >4 is also indicative of the need for exchange transfusion. [22]
The risk of hemolytic disease (including due to RhD) significantly increases if the mother has had a past transfusion of Rh-positive blood. [ 10 ] Exposure to fetal blood cells that can cause RhD alloimmunization can happen during normal pregnancy and delivery, miscarriage, amniocentesis, cordocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, external ...

Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.
