Current practice around transfusion trigger in critically ill sepsis patients is not clear. Moreover, any association of haemoglobin trigger and other transfusion parameters such as age of red blood cells (RBCs) at transfusion and number of units of RBCs transfused with mortality and other adverse outcomes need further assessment. ⋯ In sepsis, patients admitted to the ICU, current practice suggests transfusion trigger is below 7 g/dl and it does not affect any adverse outcome including 28 day mortality.
