When transfusing blood to newborns, it is necessary to follow important principles to ensure safety and avoid the risk of encountering unwanted risks.

Packed red blood cells are the most commonly used blood product in daily clinical practice. This is the fastest method to increase hemoglobin concentration in the blood, ensuring stable circulatory volume and respiratory function for organs, especially in cases of acute blood loss.

All blood products used today are taken from donors. Accordingly, the indication for blood transfusion is always considered with benefits and risks to ensure safe and effective use of blood.

Blood is a very special biological product. The amount of blood available today is still completely collected from blood donors. From there, blood will be prepared into different blood products, with appropriate indications for use in each different patient condition.

Full compatibility in blood transfusion is the reaction that selects the most suitable ABO blood group and other red blood group systems between the donor and recipient. This is an important test to ensure the immune safety of the patient when receiving blood transfusion.

Platelet transfusion is indicated for the treatment and prevention of bleeding in patients with severe thrombocytopenia. However, in addition to the benefits, platelet transfusion also leaves some side effects such as chills, allergies, sepsis, etc.

Depending on the clinical situation and the level of blood loss, the doctor will administer blood transfusion or emergency blood products appropriately to help the patient escape the critical condition and save their life.
