Patient Blood Management in pediatric and adolescent bone marrow donors: results from an Italian survey.

ABSTRACT:

Discussion

The present study highlights the highly heterogeneous criteria for the use of PAD (including calculating of the volume of whole blood collected) and the lack of a specific policy in preparation for BM HSC donation, either from non-trait carrier donors or those with sickle cell or thalassemia trait, both pediatric and adolescent.
