* Either ST segment elevation myocardial infarction or Non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction consistent with the 3rd Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction criteria that occurs on admission or during the index hospitalization
* Hemoglobin concentration less than 10 g/dL at the time of random allocation
* Patient physician believes that both of the transfusion strategies are consistent with good medical care for the patient

B: Inclusion Criteria:

1. ≥18 and ≤65 years of age
2. Planned cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass

2. Patients who are unable to receive or who refuse blood products
3. Patients who are involved in a preoperative autologous pre-donation program
4. Patients who are having a heart transplant or having surgery solely for an insertion of a ventricular assist device
5. Pregnancy or lactation (a negative pregnancy test must be obtained prior to randomization for women of childbearing potential)
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient in the ICU AND
* Fulfil the criteria for septic shock AND

D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 18 or older

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients who are unable to receive or who refuse blood products
