The “restrictive” strategy was as effective and superior to the “liberal” transfusion strategy among patients less than 55 and without cardiac disease. Patients had an overall greater decrease in mortality and less complications. They concluded that a transfusion threshold of 7 g/dl is safe in critically ill patients, including those with minimal cardiopulmonary disease. Recent recommendations suggest RBC transfusion only in cases with <Hgb and known clinical symptoms. |
Blood transfusions should not be given unless warranted by dangerously low Hct and Hgb because they carry serious risks. Not listed is also the probable infusion of CWD bacteria with each transfusion. | Blood transfusions should not be given unless warranted by dangerously low Hct and Hgb because they carry serious risks.
