Common questions
What does RBC Transfusion Threshold (Restrictive Strategy) do?
Use to decide when to transfuse stable patients by context-specific thresholds, and to recognize that active bleeding is judged clinically rather than by a number.
How is the result calculated?
Threshold: stable inpatient 70, cardiac surgery 75, orthopedic/cardiovascular disease 80 g/L. Active bleeding/instability → clinical judgment, not a single threshold. Each unit raises Hb ~10 g/L.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
