transfusion trigger

A colloquial term for the point at which the risks associated with low hematocrit or hemoglobin levels outweigh the risks of adverse reactions associated with a blood transfusion.

Patient care

The concept of a transfusion trigger is controversial. Some medical authorities recommend transfusions only for patients who are actively compromised by bleeding rather than to adjust for specific levels of hemoglobin or hematocrit. Risks also include those associated with infectious diseases.
