Improving blood transfusion practices in children's ICUs
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new set of guidelines can help doctors and nurses give red blood cell transfusions more consistently in pediatric intensive care. It aims to make transfusion decisions safer and more uniform for children in the ICU.

This trial tests whether giving ICU patients blood from a donor of the same sex (male-to-male or female-to-female) leads to better recovery compared to mismatched transfusions. The goal is to see if matching donor and patient sex makes a difference in how well patients do.
This study checks if patients leaving the ICU have low iron levels. It may help doctors understand and treat iron deficiency after a serious illness.
This study tests whether giving blood transfusions based on each patient's needs during and after heart surgery is safe and effective. It compares different transfusion thresholds to see which works better.
This trial looks at how blood transfusions were used in intensive care units and how that affected illness and survival. It may help improve transfusion decisions for future ICU patients.
This trial tests whether using a measure of oxygen in your body can guide doctors on when to give you a blood transfusion. It may help avoid unnecessary transfusions while ensuring you get enough oxygen.
This study uses artificial intelligence to better predict which ICU patients might need a blood transfusion. The goal is to make transfusion decisions more precise and personalized, potentially reducing unnecessary transfusions and improving care.
