Abstract
Anemia is a common issue for patients in the Intensive care units. Whether patients are anemic or not prior to admission, being critically ill often requires multiple blood draws to closely monitor the patient’s electrolytes, arterial blood gas, and all other additional lab tests related to the admission. Typically, the hemoglobin levels fall about 0.5 gm/dl/day during the first three days in the intensive care units and continue to decline afterwards more markedly in patients with sepsis. This decline is largely due to the amount of blood that is discarded before drawing the needed sample each time.
