In 1989, guidelines for the auditing of pediatric transfusion practices were developed by the Pediatric Hemotherapy Committee of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) and made available to AABB members. A survey of members who requested the guidelines was conducted to determine how consistent the guidelines were with local transfusion practices and how useful they were for the conduct of audits. The majority of respondents indicated that the recommended audit criteria agreed with local practices and that most of them could be applied to their transfusion practice audits with little or no modification. An exception was that criteria for the transfusion of platelets to premature infants were considered by some to be too liberal. However, after review of the comments and the published information available, the committee elected not to revise the guidelines pertaining to platelet transfusions for premature infants. Bearing in mind that audit criteria are intended to identify circumstances in which transfusions are acceptable as reasonable therapy without need for further justification, rather than to serve as indications for transfusions, the AABB Pediatric Hemotherapy Committee guidelines for auditing pediatric transfusion practices are fairly representative of national practice.
