RBC Transfusion Practices in Critically Ill Patients With Sepsis
RBC transfusions are common in critically ill patients with sepsis, highlighting a gap between clinical practice and guideline recommendations. Although not associated with overall mortality, a qualitative interaction was observed at a hemoglobin threshold of 10 g/dL. Transfusion decisions may be guided by physiologic markers up to 9-10 g/dL, but should be avoided when hemoglobin levels exceed 10 g/dL due to the potential for harm.
