Özet

Blood transfusions can be defined as a life-saving procedure in neonates, especially in premature infants and those undergoing surgery. The indications, threshold hemoglobin, and platelet levels for red cell, platelet, and plasma transfusions in neonates vary among centers and the evidence-based data for possible adverse effects, preterm morbidities, mortality and neurodevelopmental problems associated with transfusions are not adequate. Herein, we aimed to present the transfusion guideline that was designed to be used in neonatal intensive care units in our country, which summarizes clinical findings and threshold levels for red cell, platelet, and plasma transfusions, in addition to important practical points of transfusions according to a literature review.
