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

Delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may be affected by a
number of factors, including cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery. Anemia affects about …

Introduction The benefits of correcting anemia using red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) after
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are controversial. We aimed to evaluate the role of anemia …

Introduction Each unit of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) is expected to raise circulating
hemoglobin (HGB) by∼ 1 g/dL. There are few data on modifiers of this relationship other …

Introduction Anemia is common after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and may exacerbate
the reduction in oxygen delivery that underlies delayed cerebral ischemia. Fall in …

Background Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with inconsistent changes in
brain tissue oxygenation (PbO 2). Previous studies have failed to consider alterations in …

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

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

Background Anemia is frequently encountered in critically ill patients and adversely affects
cerebral oxygen delivery and brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2). The objective of this study is to …

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