Abstract:

Pediatric transfusion concerns are usually divided into two periods: Neonates from birth through 4 months and older infants (>4 months) and children. Neonate and infants in this age group are considered separately, not only because of their small blood volume but also due to unique physiological factors such as decreased production of endogenous Erythropoietin (EPO) in the premature infant in response to anaemia and physiological anaemia of infancy. Similarly the transfusion associated reactions also differ in neonates and children from adult. While analyzing the transfusion reaction, it was found that febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction was the most common transfusion reaction encountered during study period. Transfusion reactions were most commonly seen in whole blood as compared to other components. Febrile reactions were more common in whole blood and Platelet transfusion. Also comparison of whole blood and Packed RBC transfusion was done in terms of mean rise in haemoglobin and transfusion reaction.
