| contents | Anemia and transfusion of red blood cells Armando Cortés Buelvas Medicina Anaemia blood transfusion transfusion practice The red cells transfusion is a mainstay in the treatment of anemic patients. These blood transfusions are not without risks.The risk-benefit profile for red cell transfusions to treat anaemia is uncertain, but they may contribute to adverse patient outcomes in some situations. The ability of a patient to tolerate anaemia depends on their clinical condition and the presence of any significant co-morbidity; maintenance of circulating volume is of paramount importance. There is no universal transfusion trigger. Advances in the development and validation of physiological, accessible, practical and reliable markers to guide therapy are expected. To improve patients’ outcomes, further study is required to more fully explore the risk of anemia, optimal hemoglobin level, and the risk and efficacy of RBC transfusion. Future clinical investigations with high priority should determine the efficacy of transfusion in those classified as uncertain scenarios. In the absence of data, it is prudent that transfusion is administered with caution in these clinical scenarios. 2013 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28329781007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28329781007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28329781007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28329781007/28329781007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28329781007/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.4 Vol.44 |
