Massive transfusion in the neonate.
The neonate who undergoes massive transfusion is at risk for transfusion-associated complications similar to the adult, but also faces some that are unique to the infant. By understanding the mechanics of the procedures that result in single or multiple blood volume exchange, the transfusion medicine physician can better assist his/her colleagues in the support of these patients.
