Blood Conservation in the ICU
from ICU Rounds
When should a patient receive a transfuse of blood? What is an acceptable hemoglobin concentration in an ICU patient and should we use EPO? Summer is a time when the blood banks often have a single day's worth of blood. Perhaps with more conservative transfusion practices we can avoid or certainly help with some of the blood shortages. Everyone wants to put patients on Epo, but does it increase the hemoglobin concentration enough to off set its high cost?

This podcast focuses on bringing Art and Science back to Medicine. We've lost the art of healing and our practices lag the impressive developments in the biological sciences. My goal is to reignite interest in science and to restore a regard for humanity in the face of ever-growing disengagement in my profession. Subscribe if:-you are a geek or a nerd (the difference is in social skills--I identify as Geek--but we're all inclusive here, Kumbaya!)-your AQ (Attention Quotient) exceeds that of a goldfish (yes, the episodes are long)-you think: the-hip-bone-is-connected-to-the-knee-bone...but why?-you secretly harbour the suspicion that you're smarter than your doctor-you are a med student/professional who wants to know what your expensive education (which you are still paying for) did NOT give you-you love green tea, dance and animals, none of which is featured here extensively, but you're my kind of personSubscribe to my newsletter at vyvyanelohmd.c
