Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Anemia is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), and may be associated with adverse consequences. However, current options for correcting anemia are not without problems and presently lack convincing efficacy for improving survival in critically ill patients. In this article we will review normal red blood cell (RBC) physiology, etiologies of anemia in the ICU , its association with adverse outcomes, and the risks, benefits, and efficacy of various management strategies, including blood transfusion, erythropoietin, blood substitutes, iron therapy, and minimization of diagnostic phlebotomy. |
