Description
Maged Makhoul and co-authors link blood transfusion pace to survival in COVID patients on lung bypass in a 2024 study, based on the head byline. The pandemic filled intensive care units with patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a heart lung support that often needs many transfusions. Records from three Israeli centers covered all such patients supported over three days in a defined period.
Just over one hundred patients, median age near fifty, spent a median of about twenty days on support. Age over fifty independently raised death odds. Among patients supported under thirty eight days, a daily red cell rate above a set level tied to far higher intensive care death than a lower rate.
