Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multicenter Cohort Study

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this presentation, Jorien de Raesveld discusses a study on red blood cell transfusion in patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The study aimed to provide an overview of transfusion practices in this patient population. The study, conducted in 16 centers across six countries, found that almost 9 out of 10 patients received a red blood cell transfusion during ECMO, with a median total of six units transfused. Interestingly, the transfusion rate was high even in the absence of bleeding. The study highlights the need for further research to determine optimal transfusion thresholds in this specific patient population.
