To present the recommendations and supporting literature for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in critically ill children with acquired and congenital heart disease developed by the Pediatric Critical Care Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative (TAXI). Consensus conference series of 38 international, multidisciplinary experts in RBC transfusion management of critically ill children Experts developed evidence-based and when evidence was lacking, expert-based clinical recommendations and research priorities for RBC transfusions in critically ill children. The cardiac disease subgroup included three experts. Electronic searches were conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) databases from 1980 to May 2017. Agreement was obtained using the Research And Development/University of California, Los Angeles (RAND UCLA) appropriateness method. Results were summarized using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) method. 21 recommendations were developed, and reached agreement. For children with myocardial dysfunction and/or pulmonary hypertension there is no evidence that transfusion > Hb of 10g/dL is beneficial. For children with uncorrected heart disease, we recommended maintaining Hb > 7–9.0 g/dL depending upon their cardiopulmonary reserve. For stable children undergoing biventricular repairs, we recommend not transfusing if the Hb is > 7.0 g/dL. For infants undergoing staged palliative procedures with stable hemodynamics, we recommend avoiding transfusions solely based upon Hb, if Hb is > 9.0 g/dL. We recommend intra- and postoperative blood conservation measures. There is insufficient data supporting shorter storage duration RBCs. The risks and benefits of RBC transfusions in children with cardiac disease requires further study. We present RBC transfusion management recommendations for the critically ill child with cardiac disease. Clinical recommendations emphasize relevant Hb thresholds and research recommendations emphasize need for further understanding of physiological and Hb thresholds and alternatives to RBC transfusion in sub-populations lacking pediatric literature.
