Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anemia is common in critically ill patients; almost 95% of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have hemoglobin levels below normal. Several causes may explain this phenomenon as well as the tendency to transfuse patients without adequate cause: due to a lack of adherence to protocols, lack of supervision, incomplete transfusion request forms, or a lack of knowledge about the indications, risks, and costs of transfusions. The CRIT study, a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study in the United States that included 4892 ICU patients, reported that almost two-thirds of these patients had hemoglobin concentrations below 12 g/dL actions. Related to this fact, the prevalence of serious trauma patient admission to Intensive Care Units. is high, with very high-cost estimates and blood is a limited resource. The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States, published in 2020, estimate the cost of these fatal traumatic injuries at 214,000 million dollars, and the cost of non-fatal injuries at 457,000 million dollars. It is estimated that in the USA, annual ICU admissions due to traumatic injuries are around 3.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. It is estimated that more than 15% of deaths related to serious traumatic injuries are preventable being bleeding the leading cause of preventable death with acute traumatic coagulopathy.
The objective of this special is to find a space for sharing evidence related to
- Patient blood management programs;
- Bleeding management in critical care;
- Anemia and its impact on health;
- Adequation of transfusion and reduction of blood loss.
