Core Tip	Many premature babies, especially those with a low birth weight are given multiple transfusions during their first few weeks of life. Studies have shown correlations between the receipt of blood transfusions and the development of the major complications of prematurity. Little is known of the underlying pathophysiology of this relationship. This review examines novel potential mechanisms which are related to the changes that occur in iron, heme and oxidative status in paediatric packed cell units during preparation and storage, and in the ability of the premature baby to deal with these changes following receipt of blood transfusion.
