Table 1 The French recommendations for blood transfusion in critically ill patients are based on a recent consensus by the French Society of Intensive Care Medicine (Société de Réanimation de Langue Française; SRLF) using threshold values for hemoglobin (Hb) together with the clinical context to indicate blood transfusion [8].
From: Venous oxygen saturation as a physiologic transfusion trigger
Threshold value of Hb (g/dl) | Clinical context |
|---|---|
10 | • Acute coronary syndrome |
9 | • Ischemic heart disease |
|  | • Stable heart failure |
8 | • Age > 75 |
|  | • Severe sepsis |
7 | • Others |
