Description
Neonates requiring management in the intensive care setting traditionally have a high transfusion rate and high volume of transfusion required for their support. Clinical studies show that the burden and associated risk of transfusion can be reduced by application of more conservative transfusion thresholds, use of pharmacologic agents (erythropoietic stimulating agents) and implementation of non-pharmacologic blood conservation measures. The speakers in this session are leaders in the field of neonatal care who will share these strategies with session participants.
- Address adverse effects of transfusion in neonates with special focus on complications unique in the NICU setting.
- Assess multi-modal strategies used to promote blood conservation in the neonate.
- Review evolving data regarding transfusion thresholds in neonates in the ICU setting.
