We are switching to a threshold of 9 (5.6) for the first month after the insult. #TRAIN #HEMOTION #SAHARA #TMSky

Great job! Can’t help noticing the similarities to the #Hemotion trial in #TBI - non-significant results suggesting pos. effect of lib. transf. - confirmed later in #TRAIN. Could results be pooled together? Same mechanisms? #TMSky #HemeSky

Thanks for posting! who are the authors?

Nothing on preoperative anemia 😳

Be aware that this is not exclusively trauma, but also spontaneous SAH and ICH.
Seem to avoid some of the secondary ischemic injuries after hemorrhage.
In accordance with #hemotion

In summary:
1. Phlebotomy = 30-50 ml/day blood loss
2. This worsens anemia and increases costs/transfusion
3. Simple strategies can be taken, including drawing fewer labs, using smaller volume tubes, using closed loop sampling, and using non-invasive technologies.
