Secondary objectives included the dose, route, and timing of furosemide and the association of clinical factors with ordering furosemide
Cochrane Evidence Synthesis and Methods Loop diuretics for patients receiving blood transfusions

Materials and methods: In a pilot controlled feasibility trial, inpatients 65 years or older ordered a single unit of red blood cells were randomized to pre-transfusion furosemide

Approval by European Commission would expand Reblozyl’s indication to include first-line treatment of anemia in adults with MDS in Europe In the pivotal Phase 3
Purpose: Red blood cell transfusion is a key element of treatment among patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT)

Study did not report on our outcomes of interest E
Data on fluid balance were at best scanty or nonexistent in most cases
Packed red blood cells—also called PRBCs, RBCs, and packed cells—are a type of blood replacement product used for blood transfusions
The volume to transfuse is calculated using the following formula: desired Hct - foetal Hct RBC unit Hct × foeto - placental blood volume ( 150 mL / kg) The desired Hct is about 40–45%
Peri-transfusion furosemide was ordered in 16% (95% CI 11–21%)
Study design: A randomized, stratified, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous furosemide (1 mg/kg) versus placebo
Slower transfusion rates (<120cc/hr), 1 unit at a time with reassessment in between multiunit transfusions, and intravenous dose of furosemide (40mg) prior to transfusion 20
5-2 mg/kg) is used during transfusions in preterm infants
Diuretics may be used – Furosemide administered at incremental dosage of 20-40 mg depending on response 6-8 hrly until desired diuresis
Indications Acute transfusion reactions present as adverse signs or symptoms during or within 24 hours of a blood transfusion
TACO typically occurs in patients who receive a large volume of a transfused
