Hi Dhruba,
I would usually get 2 units of RBCs when my HGB was in the low 7's. A HGB in the 5's is pretty low. I'm not sure if your units are the same as ours, but does she get enough boost from just one bag of RBC's?
As Greg pointed out, a platelet count of 40k is pretty good in the AA world. I would transfuse when platelets were below 10k.
