28 February 2022 (Monday) - Transfusion Evidence Alert Update

 

The nice people at the “Transfusion Evidence Alert” sent their update today. As always there was far too much to take in at one go, but it only comes out monthly…
The first article on transfusion thresholds was interesting… when should you give a transfusion… opinion varies so much, and has done so over the years…
