Red blood cell transfusionRed blood cell transfusionAllogenic RBC transfusion is dosed to trigger Hb: * Women with Hb 5.5 - 6.4 g/dL (3.5-3.9 mmol/L) will receive 2 units of RBC * Women with Hb 6.5 - 8.0 g/dL (4.0-5.0 mmol/L) will receive 1 unit of RBC
Iron isomaltoside 1000Iron isomaltoside 1000A single dose of 1500 mg iron isomaltoside 1000 is given. The dose is diluted in 100 ml 0.9% sodium chloride and given over approximately 15 min.
