Liberal versus restrictive transfusion in haemato‐oncological patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation: A single‐centre experience

Key Points

To evaluate the effects of restrictive versus liberal transfusion strategies on RBC utilisation and safety in haemato-oncological patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation.
Implemented restrictive transfusion threshold of 7 g/dL for haemoglobin
Administered single-unit transfusions
Analyzed collected data for RBC utilization and safety outcomes
Reduced overall RBC utilization in the cohort
No significant safety issues were noted during the study period

Abstract

Restrictive transfusion through combined lowering of the haemoglobin trigger to 7 g/dL and single-unit transfusion effectively decreases RBC utilisation in a homogenous cohort of haemato-oncology patients undergoing AHSCT without hampering safety.
