Transfusion Associated Hyperkalemia Leading to Cardiac Arrest in Children
Description
Transfusion practice in neonatal and pediatric patients is different from the practice in adults. Blood products and their transfusion methods have to be carefully chosen depend on multiple factors such as blood volume, laboratory values, degrees of immune and organ maturity, and physiologic responses to hypovolemia or hypoxia. This workshop will focus on potassium issues, mainly hyperkalemia, which arise when large volume of RBCs is transfused to pediatric patients. Speakers will also discuss possible methods to prevent hyperkalemia.
