Figure 3. Audit of practice at a Toronto cancer hospital (Princess Margaret Cancer Centre [PMH]). (A) Median triggering Hb in inpatients has trended from 7.5 to 7.0 g/dL (with >95% of orders triggering at <8.0 g/dL), but in outpatients, it remains near 7.5 g/dL (with <80% of orders at <8 g/dL). (B) Inpatient RBC transfusions are single-unit orders >90% of the time, whereas outpatient sittings use single-unit orders <70% of the time.
