A comparison of high and standard blood transfusion volumes in premature infants.

Hubert Wong1, Robert Connelly, Andrew Day, Michael P Flavin.   

Abstract

UNLABELLED: We compared high volume (20 ml/kg) with standard volume (15 ml/kg) packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions in a randomized trial. Ten high volume babies received a mean of 2.8 transfusions, while 10 standard volume babies received a mean of 3.4 (p=0.58). No adverse events were attributed to the use of the high volume transfusions.
CONCLUSION: Higher transfusion volumes appear to be well tolerated. The data can be used in the planning of larger controlled trials in VLBW infants.
