Abstract
The purpose of this clinical quality improvement project was to minimize the number of red blood cell transfusion units in adult critical care patients while maintaining optimal physiological hematologic outcomes. Comparison of pre-intervention with post intervention data reveals fewer transfusions can maintain hematologic integrity without complications.
