However, few reports of emergency transfusions are available. We conducted an ERBT quality improvement project as a basis for progress.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>For each ERBT in the past 8 years, we logged indications, products, locations and timing of the transfusions, and outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred forty\u2010nine ERBTs were administered; 42% involved a single blood product, and 58% involved two or more. The incidence was 6.25 ERBT per 10,000 live births, with a higher rate (9.52 ERBT\/10,000) in hospitals with a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Seventy percent of ERBTs were administered in a NICU and 30% in a delivery room, operating room, or emergency department. Indications were abruption\/previa (32.2%), congenital anemia (i.e., fetomaternal hemorrhage; 15.4%), umbilical cord accident (i.e., velamentous insertion; 15.0%), and bleeding\/coagulopathy (12.8%). Fifty\u2010eight percent of those with hemorrhage before birth did not have a hemoglobin value reported on the umbilical cord gas; thus, anemia was not recognized initially. None of the 149 ERBTs were administered using a blood warmer. The mortality rate of recipients was 35%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on our findings, we recommend including a hemoglobin value with every cord blood gas after emergency delivery to rapidly identify fetal anemia. We also discuss two potential improvements for future testing: 1) the use of a warming device for massive transfusion of neonates and 2) the use of low\u2010titer group O cold\u2010stored whole blood for massive hemorrhage in neonates.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.15495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,3]],"date-time":"2019-09-03T19:23:46Z","timestamp":1567538626000},"page":"3113-3119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Evaluating
