Early exposure, enduring consequences: How do I manage Rh immunoglobulin prophylaxis after Rh‐mismatched transfusions in children?
Protocols for the management of mismatched transfusions in RhD negative women have been established, but there are no published guidelines directing management of similar pediatric patients. The described approach provides a safe and effective framework to mitigate RhD alloimmunization risk for these pediatric patients, thereby safeguarding their future reproductive outcomes.
