Association of anemia and transfusions with outcome after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The benefits of correcting anemia using red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are controversial. We aimed to evaluate the role of anemia and RBCT on neurological outcome after SAH using a restrictive transfusion policy. ⋯ In this retrospective single center study using a restrictive strategy of RBCT in SAH patients was not associated with worse outcome in 3 months.
