The main aim of erythrocyte transfusion in the newborn infant is to improve oxygen transport to the tissues. However, clear evidence for its effectiveness in this objective is lacking. In addition, the potential complications (mainly viral infections) of transfusion have led to a limitation of its use. Indications and modes of application are presented based upon the recommendations of the French national agency for health practice assessment (ANAES).
