Review of the literature on allogeneic red blood cell and plasma transfusions in children
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: To review the published research on allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) and plasma transfusions in children over 4 months of age. Evidence: Search of MEDLINE database between January 1966 and July 1996 and manual search of relevant textbooks. Articles addressing guidelines for administration, evaluation of appropriateness of therapy, utilization and indications for transfusion were selected for review. Results: Most publications containing guidelines for RBC and plasma transfusions do not cover pediatric patients. We identified 18 articles that addressed blood utilization or appropriateness of RBC or plasma transfusions in children; only 6 were randomized or controlled trials. These, as well as observational studies are

متن کاملHematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defective synthesis of the α- or β-chain of hemoglobin. For β-thalassemia major patients, therapeutic options are either monthly red cell transfusions and chelation therapy or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplant is the only curative approach and success is inversely correlated with the degree of iron overload and h...
