paediatric have less blood.reticulo endothelial system is not fully developed to replace lost blood quickly.they are on milk diet only.milk has less iron which is needed for formation of haemoglobin.less haemoglobin means getting less oxygen.at first few days of birth they have neonatal jaundice due to rbc destruction.so due to further blood loss along with sickness it is very difficult to withstand for a infant.

How is a full body blood transfusion done and how many units of blood are needed?
poopyjehf oe huhuh jheb bjiahb d jibwqjiebib uiebeqwijb ihjbqejib jiqebj The patient's blood is slowly withdrawn (usually about 5 to 20 mL at a time, depending on the patient's size and the severity of illness). An equal amount of fresh, prewarmed blood or plasma flows into the patient's body. This cycle is repeated until the correct volume of blood has been replaced. The volume is dependent on the size of the patient, therefore the units of blood required are variable.

Will a parkinson's patient be able to give blood?
That would depend on what stage the disease has reached. If it is not far along, yes, there would be no reason why the patient could not give blood. However, if the disease has progressed to the point that the patient is shaking violently, it would not be possible for him to donate blood. This has to be the most ignorant answer ever. Depending on medications and general health it would be fine. The amount of shake has zero to do with a blood donation.
