INTRODUCTION: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is often essential during @entity130 resuscitation but is associated with high cost and potential adverse outcomes. This study aimed to determine the incidence of @entity1314 ( @entity1314 ) among adult major @entity130 @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of data collected by <name blinded> Registry on @entity1 presenting between Jan 2006 and Dec 2011 was conducted. Eligible @entity1 received at least 1 unit of RBC in the first 24h following presentation to the @entity341 ( @entity341 ). Episodes of @entity1314 were determined according to haemodynamic stability and post-transfusion haemoglobin levels. RESULTS: There were 621 @entity1 included, of whom 224 (36.1%; 95% CI: 32.3-40.0) received @entity1314 . Of them, 132 (58.9%) were haemodynamically stable on arrival and did not require a surgical procedure. @entity1 with @entity1314 had significantly lower @entity130 (30 vs 34, p<0.01), higher presenting systolic blood pressure (129 vs 112mm Hg, p<0.01) and a lower frequency of a shock index >= 1 (24.1 vs 65.0%, p<0.01), compared to those without @entity1314 . They also had a significantly lower mortality (13.4 vs 21.7%, p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: @entity1314 after @entity130 was common and often delivered to haemodynamically stable @entity1 who did not require surgical procedures. Clinical decision pathways for @entity130 resuscitation should aim to limit @entity1314 .
