TRANSFUSION
The decision to transfuse should not be based the haemoglobin
level alone, but also on a assesment of the child’s clinical
condition.
Indication for transfusion :
Hb concentration of 4 g/dl or less
Hb concentration 4 -6 g/dl, if any of the clinical features ofhyo!ia "acidosis, imaired conciousness#,
hyerarasitemia "$%&'#.

The need for transfusion can often be avoided by the
revention or early diagnosis treatment of anemia.
Blood is often unneccessarily given to raise a atient’s Hblevel before surgery or to allo+ earlier discharge from
hosital.
Catient’s transfusion reDuirment can often be minimiEed by
good anaesthetic surgical management. If blood is given +hen is not needed.
Bllos is e!ansive, scarce resource.
