Acute reduction in hemoglobin levels is frequently seen during sepsis. Previous studies have focused on the management of anemia in patients with septic shock admitted to intensive care units (ICU’s), including aggressive blood transfusion aiming to enh

Five (6.96 %) patients had documented bacterial infections and two (2.78 %) suffered from malaria. Forty eight patients (66.67 %) started with iron chelation therapy; but majority (52.7 %) stopped. Major advantage of splenectomy is reduced transfusion requirement, though it cannot prevent skeletal...
kidney disease. Other causes include overhydration (too much water in the body) and red blood cell destruction associated with a bad reaction to a blood transfusion. A disease that is defined by too little hemoglobin in the blood is known as anemia. There are various types of anemia. ...
BACKGROUND:Blood products are an expensive resource. The study aimed to assess the cost spent on red blood cell (RBC) transfusions before and after implementing a 2-factorial RBC transfusion decision protocol and the current cost of an RBC transfusion pr

The well known complications of blood transfusion namely incompatibility reactions, disease transmission, immunosuppression and the storage limitations of erythrocytes points to the need for the development of blood substitutes devoid of these shortcomings. Blood substitutes will have numerous applications provid...
