Abstract:With advancements in clinical medicine, pediatric blood transfusion has evolved from traditional empirical practices to evidence-based approaches grounded in clinical research data. To better guide pediatric blood transfusion practices and improve clinical outcomes for pediatric patients, the National Health Commission has developed and issued "Guideline for pediatric transfusion". This article summarizes the unique aspects of pediatric blood transfusion, the application of blood component therapy in treating pediatric patients, the significance of interpreting the "Guideline for pediatric transfusion", and anticipates future developments in pediatric blood transfusion medicine.
