Pediatric Blood Transfusion Calculator
Result
Pediatric Blood Transfusion Calculator Calculate pediatric PRBC transfusion volume. Formula: Volume (mL) = Body Weight (kg) × Desired Hgb increase (g/dL) × 3. Clinical reference only; consult pediatric hematology. — free online calculator.
Formula
- Pediatric Blood Transfusion Calculator calculates its result from Child Weight (kg), Current Hemoglobin (g/dL), Target Hemoglobin (g/dL). It uses the formula Volume = Weight(kg) × (Target - Current Hgb) × 3. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly. This is an informational calculation and is not medical advice.
- The main inputs are Child Weight, Current Hemoglobin, Target Hemoglobin. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Use the measurement units shown beside each field. The result is an estimate and should be interpreted in context.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Pediatric Blood Transfusion
- Child Weight: 20 kg
- Current Hemoglobin: 7 g/dL
- Target Hemoglobin: 9 g/dL
Using Child Weight (kg) = 20, Current Hemoglobin (g/dL) = 7, Target Hemoglobin (g/dL) = 9, the calculated result is 120.
