“…We read with interest the study on transfusion-associated hyperkalemia (TAH) by Yamada et al 1 and the editorial by Romon and Cortes. 2 We thank the authors for their letter to increase awareness of TAH. We completely agree that indication for use of irradiated red blood cell (RBC) units needs to be refined and use of other measures like potassium filters and washing of units prior to transfusion should be tailored according to clinical settings.…”

The authors present a revolutionary study aiming to evaluate the effect of alterations in potassium concentrations in transfused packed red blood cells (PRBC) on the neonate and infant potassium levels after congenital cardiac surgery. By establishing a strict protocol that restricts the rate of transfusion, the age of the transfused PRBC, and not transfusing a PRBC with a potassium level above 15 mmol/L, they accomplished to suggest a safe and easy way for preventing transfusion-associated hyperkalemia.

Objective: to analyze pediatric patient safety in the administration of blood components. Method: a documentary and retrospective study, developed at a hospital in the Brazilian Midwest region. Data collection took place through medical records and 234 transfusions were identified, performed in 90 patients aged from zero to twelve years old, hospitalized between July and December 2020. An instrument based on good practice guidelines about blood components was used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: the transfusions were predominantly performed in breastfeeding infants (71.1%). Blood transfusions in critical sectors stood out (86.3%), as well as with indication of a clinical order (87.2%) and prescription of packed red blood cells (75.3%). The Nursing reports identified adverse events (n=05) and incidents (n=13) that were associated with inadequacies between the prescribed and infused volumes and the request and administration time (p<0.001), although no notification was formalized in the institution during the period. Conclusion: the administration of blood components presented nonconformities, which results in risk situations for pediatric patients.
