Transfusions to neonates convey both benefits and risks, and evidence-based data for possible adverse effects, preterm morbidities, mortality, and neuro-developmental problems associated with transfusions is needed to make decisions for proper care. This issue fills the gap of evidence-based knowledge in order to improve outcomes in patients.
-
Contains 9 practice-oriented topics including potential mechanisms mediating harm from platelet transfusions in neonates; plasma transfusion in the neonate; neonatal blood banking practices; transfusion in neonatal ECMO; allogenic cord blood transfusion in infants; and more.
-
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on neonatal transfusion medicine, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
-
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
