====== Anemia ======

Anemia is common in patients with aSAH (50% incidence) and is associated with reduction in cerebral oxygenation and poor outcome.

Hemoglobin of 10-11 g% is ideal in these patients. 

However, [[red blood cell]] (RBC) transfusion has been shown to increase medical complications including infection by 3-fold. Hence, any benefit from correction of anemia with RBC transfusion has to weighed against its possible adverse complications.
