Using arterial-venous oxygen difference to guide red blood cell transfusion strategy

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend a restrictive red blood cell transfusion strategy based on hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in critically ill patients. We hypothesized that the arterial-venous oxygen difference (A-V O2diff), a surrogate for the oxygen delivery to consumption ratio, could prov...
