Study of Safe Blood Transfusion Volumes to Correct Acute Severe Anaemia

NCT01461590 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 160

Last updated 2015-04-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Greater volume of whole blood(30mls/kg compared to 20mls/kg) following standard calculations, given to children with severe anaemia will be beneficial in haematological correction and can be given safely since respiratory distress and haemodynamic changes result from acidosis and compensation in these children rather than from biventricular failure.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER
