Greetings!
I've been asked to locate a Pediatric Blood Administration Policy or best practice information. I happen to be the resident CRNI here but spend precious little time in the PEDs dept. If anyone has something I'd appreciate hearing from you. If there isn't anything like this specific for PEDs I'd like to know that too.
Thanks much!

The pediatric chapter in the INS textbook states that the basic principles and process used in adults also applies for transfusion in children. Differences include the total volume and rate and some indications. Check that passage in the textbook and also the chapter on transfusion. I have never seen a hospital with a separate peds transfusion policy and procedure. Lynn
