SCCM Resource Library-Transfusion-Associated Delirium in Children

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In a recently published study on Transfusion Associated Delirium in Children, researchers aimed to explore the possible contribution of red blood cell transfusions to the development of delirium. The study found that storage duration of red blood cells (RBCs) was not associated with pediatric delirium. However, RBC transfusions were independently associated with the development of delirium in critically ill children. There was no relationship between anemia and delirium, suggesting that RBC transfusion practices may be an important modifiable risk factor for pediatric delirium. This study highlights the need for restrictive transfusion strategies to improve patient outcomes.
