When Not to Transfuse: The Most Ignored Skill in Clinical Practice

Transfusion is a therapy, not a reflex. Knowing when not to transfuse is just as important as knowing when to.

Key Takeaways:

  •  Unnecessary transfusion is not harmless — it increases morbidity, mortality, and complications.
  •  Red cells, platelets, and plasma should be given based on evidence-based thresholds, not just numbers.
  •  Patient Blood Management (PBM) is the cornerstone of modern transfusion practice: optimize hemoglobin, minimize iatrogenic loss, and follow a single-unit strategy.

So, the safest transfusion is the one you didn’t give after patient-centred analysis.”
