Current red blood cell and platelet transfusion practices in Canadian neonatal intensive care units
Abstract Background Red blood cell and platelet transfusions are often prescribed in preterm infants. Consensus on the best transfusion practices in this population has still not been reached, causing disparities in neonatal care. The objective of this study is to provide updated data on current red blood cell and platelet transfusion practices in ...

ABSTRACT Background To date, no studies have reported the evaluation of hemostatic activity in canine leukoreduced cryoprecipitate (LR‐CRYO) and leukoreduced cryopoor plasma (LR‐CPP). Objectives We aimed to compare the hemostatic activity of LR‐CRYO and LR‐CPP to leukoreduced fresh plasma (LR‐FP) and to evaluate the preservation of LR‐CRYO by ...

An experimental comparison and user evaluation of three different dried plasma products
Abstract Background and Objectives Access to blood components in pre‐hospital bleeding resuscitation is challenging. Dried plasma is a logistically superior alternative, and new products are emerging. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate laboratory and practical differences in three differently produced dried plasma products.

Electronic health records reveal variations in the use of blood units by hour and medical specialty
Abstract Background and Objectives Efficient blood supply chain requires accurate demand estimates. Blood demand is created by clinicians making transfusion decisions based on patient status. To better understand the use of blood units, we tracked their use hourly and across a large hospital organization.

Noninvasive fetal antigen genotyping: Results from a survey on the status of clinical implementation
Abstract Background and Objectives Noninvasive fetal antigen genotyping can assist the management of immunized pregnant women, and fetal RHD genotyping can be used as a screening assay to guide restricted use of Rh prophylaxis. Based on a survey, we present an overview of the implementation of noninvasive fetal antigen genotyping into clinical practice.
