Warmed Blood Transfusion in Premature Infants

"The erythrocyte suspension will be heated between 34-36 C⁰, which is the determined physiological temperature.~Before giving it to the baby, 2 ml of blood will be taken through a triple tap and its hematocrit and K value (blood gas) will be checked. It will be given to the baby after the temperature is checked with a body fluid thermometer and determined to be within the appropriate range and if hemolysis is not observed.~At the end of the standard transfusion period of 3 hours, all babies will be routinely checked for blood gases, HTC and K."
