Patient´s clinical situation should be consider as the most important component on the transfusion decision-making process. Packed erythrocytes will be transfused to maintain hemoglobin concentrations higher 9g/dl and higher 10g/dl in individuals with underlying cardiovascular disease or anticipated greater blood loss. Individual based dynamics strongly indicating the need for erythrocyte transfusion at anesthesiologist criteria will be also part of the transfusion making decision-making process (tachycardia, hypotension, sings of ischemia on electrocardiogram, lactic acidosis, and dynamics of bleeding).
