In other neurocritically ill pts including SAH (the recently published TRAIN trial), we did reduce unfavorable outcomes when we set the "liberal" threshold of <9g/dl and restrict all the way down to <7g/dl. This looked at 6 month outcome.

Between these two groups, there was no significant difference in mRS at 12 months and the risk of having a poor outcome.

Note also that once the liberal group got transfused they also mostly stay well above even the liberal threshold.
So intervention was transfusion for a low threshold of 8g/dl ... but we're I think ultimately comparing outcomes for avg daily hgb of ~11g/dL to ~9.5 g/dL

The median time before enrollment was 3 days (meaning by day 3 the hgb dropped below 10). this is important as it is right before patients would enter the period of highest risk for vasospasm and DCI. And the separation of hgb levels was well differentiated between the groups

Anemia happens frequently in our aSAH patients.
These patients are at risk for delayed cerebral ischemia and other neurologic insults
It would seem having adequate oxygen to the brain tissue would be a good thing to prevent such injury.
But how much hgb is adequate?

Was so fun to put together this #SeminarsInNeurology issue on AMS and delirium with Eyal Kimchi.
Will post some of my favorite charts. Figures and graphs in coming days
