ScvO2 changes after red ‐blood‐cell transfusion for anaemia in cardiothoracic and vascular ICU patients: an observational study

ConclusionIn anaemic patients, RBC transfusion induced a significant increase in ScvO2, provided it was low before transfusion. A 65% cut‐off value of ScvO2 before transfusion showed good specificity and good positive predictive value for a 5% increase after transfusion.
