Criteria* for Transfusion of RBCs

< 45%

Congenital cyanotic heart disease

Use of ECMO

< 35%

Use of O2 by hood at > 35% FIO2

Use of CPAP or mechanical ventilation with mean airway pressure > 6–8 cm H2O

< 30%

Use of any supplemental O2

Use of any CPAP or mechanical ventilation

Significant abnormalities of heart rate or respiratory rate†

< 20%

Low reticulocyte count and symptoms of anemia (eg, tachycardia, tachypnea, poor feeding)

* At least 1 of these criteria must also be present.

† Abnormalities include > 6 episodes of apnea in 12 hours, 2 episodes of apnea in 24 hours requiring bag-and-mask ventilation (while receiving therapeutic doses of methylxanthines), heart rate > 180/minute for 24 hours, clinically significant bradycardia, and respiratory rate > 80/minute for 24 hours.

CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure; ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; FIO2 = fractional inspired O2; RBC = red blood cell.
