Objectives: Impaired oxygen delivery due to reduced cerebral blood flow is the hallmark of
delayed cerebral ischemia following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Since anemia reduces …

Background and Purpose—Anemia is common after subarachnoid hemorrhage and may
exacerbate the reduction in oxygen delivery (DO2) underlying delayed cerebral ischemia …

Background Anemia adversely affects cerebral oxygenation and metabolism after
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and is also associated with poor outcome. There is limited …

BACKGROUND: Accumulating data suggest that anemia worsens outcomes in critically ill
patients, including those with subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Although …

OBJECTIVES: Anemia is common after acute brain injury and can be associated with brain
tissue hypoxia. RBC transfusion (RBCT) can improve brain oxygenation; however …

Object Critical reductions in oxygen delivery (DO 2) underlie the development of delayed
cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). If DO 2 is not promptly …

Background Although blood transfusions can be lifesaving in severe hemorrhage, they can
also have potential complications. As anemia has also been associated with poor outcomes …

Methods: Of 580 consecutive SAH patients enrolled in the Columbia University SAH
Outcomes Project between 1996 and 2002 we analyzed 379 who had hemoglobin (Hb) …

Objective: To determine a) whether packed red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) increases
local brain tissue oxygen partial pressure (Pbto 2) in a neurocritical care population; and b) …
