Extremely low birthweight infants become anaemic during their care in the neonatal
intensive care unit because of the physiological anaemia experienced by all newborn …

There are two recently completed large randomized clinical trials of blood transfusions in the
preterm infants most at risk of requiring them. Liberal and restrictive strategies were …

Repeated red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are thought to increase the risk for retinopathy
of prematurity (ROP), likely due to a critical fetal hemoglobin (HbF) reduction. In this study …

Background Extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs, ie, neonates born before 28
weeks of gestation) are at high risk of developing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), with …

This article presents current literature and scientific evidence on hemoglobin thresholds and
physiologic parameters to guide decisions regarding perioperative erythrocyte transfusions …

Background It is unresolved whether low haemoglobin (Hb) and symptoms of anaemia
reflect oxygen delivery-consumption imbalances (fractional tissue oxygen extraction [FTOE]) …

Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is largely misused in the neonatal setting. The aim of the study is
to evaluate the impact of a Thromboelastography (TEG)-based Quality Improvement (QI) …

Contemporary packed red blood cell transfusion practices in anaemic preterm infants are
primarily based on measurement of hemoglobin or haematocrit. In neonatal intensive care …

Background Anemia is associated with decreased tissue oxygenation in preterm infants and
