Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Controversies about medical practices usually arise from lack of definitive scientific studies. In the presence of continuing controversy about the appropriate hemoglobin level for ventilated (or nonventilated) infants, we can attempt to derive as much useful information as possible. In this article, the authors focus on four subjects: the physiologic role of red cells, the clinical effects of anemia and the proposed clinical benefit of red cell transfusions in preterm infants, the risks associated with transfusions, and the use of recombinant erythropoietin as an alternative to transfusion therapy. |
