Introduction to the Program

This Postgraduate certificate in Transfusions in Pediatrics is the program you were looking for to specialize in an area of hematology that demands specialized professionals"

Transfusion practice in pediatrics has its own characteristics due to the different mechanisms of adaptation to anemia and its clinical manifestations and to the peculiarities of the sick child. In addition, the incidence of transfusion-related complications is higher in the pediatric population.

Today, increasingly restrictive transfusion policies are being imposed, but the scarcity of well-designed studies and individual clinical variability do not allow the establishment of a single transfusion threshold for all patients. Therefore, this program will detail the most accepted recommendations for transfusion of the different blood components in pediatric patients, divided into two stages: (a from the fetal stage to 4 months of age, and b) older than 4 months.

However, the student will delve into the knowledge of the indications of hemocomponents in pediatric patients, considering it a therapeutic measure that must have a clear and precise physiological knowledge in the pediatric age to avoid unnecessary risks and to make a good use of them.
