Özet

Objective: The hemoglobin (Hb) content of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) differs in standard volume units. The pRBC transfusions are based on the number of units routinely. We aimed to use pRBCs according to total Hb content and compare the rates of achieving the target Hb concentration levels with the current transfusion practice.
