1818 - Extracted 4 ounces of blood from the arm of
the patient’s husband with a syringe and
successfully transfused it

Anaemia in critically ill children
• Causes– Chronic anaemia– Overt and occult blood loss– Bone marrow suppression
from diseases/treatment– Inadequate erythropoietin
response to anaemia
•

Red Blood Cell Transfusions
• For decades considered to be a low risk with obvious benefits
• 10/30 rule
• Restrictive use of blood since the 1980’s
![Page 6: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What actually happens in PICU?
![Page 7: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Physiological benefits of RBC transfusions
• Tissue hypoxia may be due to low Hb concentration, cardiac output or SaO2
• Oxygen delivery exceeds requirements
• Adaptive processes as oxygen delivery decreases with anaemia– Increased oxygen extraction– Increased heart rate and stroke volume– Preferential perfusion of head and heart at
the expense of splanchnic perfusion
![Page 8: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Altered physiological adaptation to low Hb
in critically ill children– Increased metabolic rate in SIRS increases
oxygen consumption and lowers reserves– Impaired LV function and vascular tone
restricts oxygen delivery and blood redistribution
– Infants have high resting heart rates, which limits the ability to increase cardiac output
![Page 9: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Microcirculatory effects of transfused RBC
• Global increase in oxygen delivery with potentially decreased microcirculatory flow– Increased blood viscousity – Cytokines my cause vasoconstriction– Low levels of 2,3 DPG shifts curve left, impeding oxygen
availability– Decreased RBC membrane deformability– Free Hb may bind NO causing vasoconstriction

Immunologic effects of RBC transfusion
• Some evidence that it may cause
– Immune suppression by altering lymphocyte reactivity
– Pro inflammatory: cytokines in unfiltered rbc’s might trigger SIRS or multi organ failure
![Page 11: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
When should critically ill children be transfused?
![Page 12: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• 637 critically ill children• Equivalence of restrictive strategy (Hb<7) and
liberal strategy (Hb <9.5)• No difference in MODS, death, icu stay and sepsis• 44% reduction in blood transfusions• 50% of study children transfused
![Page 13: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• 838 critically ill adults• Restrictive strategy (Hb<7) and liberal strategy (Hb <9)• Restrictive group had 54% fewer rbc units• Decrease mortality in adults who were less sick• Possible exceptions: unstable angina and MI’s
![Page 14: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• 1269 Kenyan children hospitalized for malaria English, Lancet 2002
– RBC transfusion decreased mortality in severe anaemia,
<4g/dl
or if Hb < 5g/dl and dyspnoeic
- some benefits to keep Hb > 5 in hospitalized children

• Haemodynamically unstable children: Hb > 10• De Oliveira et al (Intens. Care Med. 2008)
– children with severe sepsis
– significant reduction in 28 day mortality
(11% vs 39%, p=0.002) and new organ failure
– targeting SVC sats > 70% using fluids, inotropes and blood transfusions keeping Hb > 10g/dl
• Similar outcomes in adults using goal directed therapy Rivers et al, NEJM 2001
• Children with severe congenital heart disease and traumatic brain injuries might need higher Hb’s

Transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI)
• Aetiology poorly understood
• Diagnostic criteria– Acute lung injury occurring within 6 hours
of a transfusion – No signs of fluid overload– Bilateral lung infiltrates on cxr
• Usually resolves within 48 hours
![Page 19: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Leukocyte reduced RBC’s
• Reduces leukocytes by up to 99%
• reduces the number of cell associated viruses: cmv, herpes and ebv
• May reduce transmission of prions and parasites and incidence of TRALI
![Page 20: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fresh Frozen Plasma
![Page 21: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Platelets
• Thrombocytopenia and qualitative platelet defects impairs ability to form platelet plugs
• Risk of massive bleeding when platelet count < 10 and IVH when platelets <1
• No scientific basis for keeping platelets > 20
![Page 22: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cryoprecipitate
• Rapid increase in fibrinogen levels in patients with DIC and active bleeding
![Page 23: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Meta-analyses of 24 studies, 1419 patients
• 6% increase in mortality or
‘1 death for every 17 patients given albumen’
![Page 24: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Meta-analysis of 55 trials, 3504 patients
• No difference in mortality
![Page 25: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Nearly 7000 patients
• No significant difference in mortality
• Similar rates of secondary outcomes– Survival time, organ dysfunction, duration of
mechanical ventilation, length of icu and hospital stay
• Albumin to saline ratio 1: 1.4
![Page 26: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions
• Stable critically ill children can support an Hb > 7
• Maintain Hb > 10 in haemodynamically unstable children, those with significant cardiovascular disease and traumatic brain injuries
![Page 27: Blood Products in Critically ill Children](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/56813550550346895d9caf05/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusions
• Advantages to using leukocyte reduced blood
• Platelet transfusion thresholds not evidence based
• Prophylactic use of FFP is controversial
