Abstract

In order to avoid complications, for the calculation of the transfusion volume of red blood cells in pediatrics, the use of formulas is common. However, this practice is not unified and there is no evidence to recommend a particularly correction factor.

This review aims to assess the use of these formulas to calculate red cell concentrates volume to be transfused in non-bleeding pediatric patient.
