juan carlos vidal Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 hello group, I would like to know how your institutions deal with the administration of iron after transfusion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Johansson Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 In the past, we paused iron supplementation during three days after a blood transfusion. However, we thought this routine did not really make sense as the iron load from a blood transfusion would correspond to ~1 month of iron supplementation In infants with many transfusions, we do check S-Ferritin, and halt iron supplementation if S-Ferritin is >350 μg/L. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petri Mansvelt Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 We pause for one week and then check ferritin level; restart if ferritin is <300, otherwise wait 1-2 weeks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMcElroy Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 We start iron supplements at 6 weeks and find most babies not requiring blood transfusions after this time. But should need arise we don't pause them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
