PO-0151 Epidemiological Considerations About Paediatric Sarcomas In Albania

Abstract

± 19.1 ml transfused volume and the mean Hb post-transfusion of 13.6 ± 2.1 g/dl. Only 5 (6%) of infants did not reach the desired Hb level post-transfusion and 4 of these infants were mechanically ventilated. There was a poor correlation between infant weight and post transfusion Hb (R = 0.028, p = 0.81). However, pre-transfusion Hb positively correlated with posttransfusion Hb (R = 0.509; p < 0.001) (Figure 1). Conclusion Incorporation of the pre-transfusion Hb value in the calculation of RBC transfusion volume may achieve the desired Hb threshold and hence reduce the need for further transfusion.
