We retrospectively investigated the status of transfusional iron overload at Kinki University Hospital. One hundred and sixty three patients received more than 10 red blood cell (RBC) units per year in 2009 and 2010. Myelodysplastic syndrome (37.4%) and aplastic anemia (11.0%) accounted for about 50

This prospective observational study conducted in a neonatal intensive care unit aimed to evaluate echocardiographic changes provoked by anemia and transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) in premature infants. In this study, 32 anemic premature infants had serial echocardiographic assessment o

Sofronov GA, Khanevich MD, Manikhas GM, Lisianskaia AS, Selivanov EA, Feofanova AV, Fadeev RV, Giparovich MA, Pshenkina NN, Dinikin MS.AbstractThe authors present an analysis of specific features of transfusions of erythrocyte containing media in oncological patients. Special attention was given to necessary selection of donor erythrocytes in performing operations with massive intraoperative blood loss. It considerably contributes to a decreased number of posttransfusional reactions and complications. For the recent five years transfusions of erythrocyte containing media to more than 15 thousand patients with surgical treatment were analyzed. Among them the individual selection of donor blood was fulfilled in 2047 cases. Compatible erythrocytes could not be selected in five cases only. In these patients infusions of Perftoran were used as an oxygen carrier both during operation and at the postoperative period.
