Why might cord blood be a better source of platelets for transfusion to neonates?
Blood Transfus. 2024 Mar 27. doi: 10.2450/BloodTransfus.566. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThrombocytopenia (defined as a platelet count <150×109/L) is a common condition in preterm neonates and may occur in 18-35% of all infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Neonatal platelet functionality in terms of reactivity is often described as reduced compared to adults, even in healthy, term neonates. However, this platelet "hyporeactivity" does not correspond to a global functional impairment of the normal delicately balanced neonatal hemostatic system. The extent to which neonatal thrombocytopenia and ...

Development and evaluation of trigger tools to identify pediatric blood management errors
DISCUSSION: It is feasible to automatically detect pediatric PBM errors using existing data captured in the EHR that enable active surveillance systems. Over-transfusions may be one of the most frequent causes of harm in the pediatric environment.PMID:38557324 | DOI:10.2450/BloodTransfus.606 (Source: Blood Transfusion)
