Observational Study
Transfusion-associated circulatory overload in a pediatric intensive care unit: different incidences with different diagnostic criteria.
The incidence of transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) is not well known in children, especially in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients. ⋯ A more operational definition of TACO is needed in PICU patients. Using a threshold could be more optimal but more studies are needed to confirm the best threshold.
