“…Coronary blood flow increases even more than cerebral blood flow as myocardial oxygen demand increases during anaemia. When the haematocrit is reduced to 10-12%, myocardial oxygen consumption more than doubles [14].…”

Paediatric patients undergoing surgical procedures commonly require some volume of blood or blood component replacement in the perioperative period. Paediatric patients undergoing major surgery associated with substantial blood loss should be evaluated pre-operatively. Pre-operative correction of anaemia may be done considering the age, plasma volume status, clinical status and comorbidities. Maximum allowable blood loss (MABL) for surgery must be calculated, and appropriate quantity of blood and blood components should be arranged. Intraoperative monitoring of blood loss should be done, and volume of transfusion should be calculated in a protocol based manner considering the volemia and the trigger threshold for transfusion for the patient and the MABL. Early haemostasis should be achieved by judicious administration of red blood cells, blood components and pharmacological agents.

“…Some clinical guidelines recommend maintaining an hemoglobin level greater than 10.0 g/dL in the septic patient. 17 However, there is no evidence in the literature that maintaining an hemoglobin value higher than 10 g/dL in these critically ill patients is associated with a decreased mortality or morbidity.…”
