AB Typical  transfusion  thresholds  include  a  hematocrit  of  21%  in  asymptomatic  patients,  and  30%  in  critically  ill  premature  neonates  or  patients  undergoing  major  surgery.Patients  with  sickle  cell  disease  (SCD)  require  strict  physiologic  optimization  preoperatively,  and  close  monitoring  after  surgery,  to  prevent  complications.A  platelet  count  of  50,000/mm3  is  adequate  for  procedures  such  as  central  line  placement.For  massive  transfusion,  a  blood  component  ratio  of  1:1:1  for  red  blood  cells  (RBCs):  fresh  frozen  plasma  (FFP):  platelets  is  recommended.Most  transfusion  reactions  typically  fall  into  one  of  3  categories:  hemolytic,  febrile,  and  urticarial.
