Current transfusion medicine guidelines do not recommend transfusion of red cells in patients with a hemoglobin of 7 g/dl or higher or a hematocrit of 21% or higher IF their underlying medical status is stable (adequate cardiovascular/pulmonary reserves) and they are not not actively bleeding. Each 500 ml loss of whole blood is expected to decrease the partients hemoglobin by 1.0 g/dl and the hematocrit by 1-3%.
