Respondents were asked which Hb threshold they used for RCC transfusion in the general ICU population and different subpopulations. Respondents used in the general population a Hb threshold of 7.0 g/dL (7.0–7.5). This is significantly lower (p < 0.001) compared to patients with acute coronary syndrome (9.0 g/dL (8–9.7)), septic shock (7.5 g/dL (7.0–8.0)), acute brain injury (8.0 g/dL (7.0–9.0)), patients undergoing ECMO (8.0 (7.0–9.0) g/dL), issues of prolonged weaning (7.5 g/dL (7.0–8.0)), or patients with ARDS (7.5 g/dL (7.0–8.0)). No statistical differences were observed between the general ICU population and patients older than 65 years and patients with (haematological) oncology (all three groups were transfused at a Hb threshold of 7.0 g/dL (7.0–7.5))
