Transfusión en Sangramiento GI

Transfusion Strategies for Upper GI Bleeds

SGEM#61: Blood on Blood - By Dr. Philippe Rola -  January 28, 2014

"BEEM Commentary: This was a good study asking a very important question, when to start transfusion in acute upper GI bleeds. They generated their hypothesis based on a number of considerations. These included trials in critically ill patients, observational studies, small RCTs and animal studies.
Clinical Application: I will probably be less likely to provide blood to patients with non-massive, acute upper GI bleeds with initial hemaglobins of >7g/dl."
