Title: blood top up confusion
Post by: kabir_love on March 14, 2013, 06:36:17 AM
hi.
pls can u advise for my little problem. regarding my son  sometime need to have  transfusion bit early due to traveling reasons that time we see his Hb  as 11  or 11.9  or even 12 and we know we wont be able to comeback before 15 days and his usual Bt  time is 22 days.  so at this levels is it ok to give full blood unit ???  as doctor says not to waist the blood better give full unit  and what i think as extra hb might not harm in other way ... pls advice me

regs & thx
