Blood transfusions after ICU: a new hope for beating fatigue?
NCT ID NCT04591574
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving more blood transfusions to patients who are anemic after leaving the intensive care unit (ICU) can help them feel less tired and improve their quality of life. About 346 adults from UK hospitals will be randomly assigned to either the usual care (fewer transfusions) or a more active transfusion plan. The goal is to see if a more aggressive approach reduces fatigue and disability over six months.
