title: [Evolution of neonatal transfusion practices: current recommendations].
abstract: Newborns and particularly preterm infants are a population at high risk of transfusion. The implementation of strategies to prevent transfusion by reducing blood loss, use of recombinant human erythropoietin, administration of iron and vitamins and delayed umbilical cord clamping have reduced the frequency of transfusions neonatal periods. The emergence of more stringent recommendations on indications for transfusion has been involved in this development. Various transformations and qualifications for red cell concentrates, platelet concentrates and fresh frozen plasma must be known to better adapt the blood products to newborn term and preterm according to their pathologies. Preparing pediatric units from a single donor for repeated transfusions reduces the allo-immune and infectious risks.
