Critically ill patients commonly present with anemia, defined as a hemoglobin level less than 13.0 g/dL in men and less than 11.6 g/dL in women or as clinical signs of bleeding, including tachycardia and low urine output with active hemorrhage. Anemia is common, occurring in up to a third of critically ill patients, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in patients with central nervous system injuries and disease. The causes of anemia can vary from chronic conditions such as kidney disease or malnutrition to acute conditions such as bleeding or consumptive coagulopathy.
