5.1.5 Effect of non-transfusion interventions to increase haemoglobin concentration
Question 5 (interventional)
In patients with critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion, what is the effect of non-transfusion interventions to increase haemoglobin concentration on morbidity, mortality and the need for RBC blood transfusion?
RBC, red blood cell
It is unlikely that non-transfusion interventions (e.g. haematinics and ESAs) to increase haemoglobin concentration will be able to be assessed for their effect on morbidity, mortality and the need for RBC transfusion in critically bleeding patients requiring massive transfusion.
