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 …

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) …

Objective: There is evidence to suggest that anemia after severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI)
is detrimental. However, there is a paucity of evidence supporting the use of transfusion of …

Both severe anemia and red blood-cell transfusion may negatively influence clinical
outcome in neurocritical patients. Acceptance of low hemoglobin concentrations may be …
