I have seen centers do either transfusing RBCs how 1) how you feel 2) lower than 8.0. I have some use both of these standards. Platelets at Mayo Clinic don't get transfused if you are less than 10 or 20. It depends on the person and circumstances. THey used 10 for my threshold at first. Then when I had bleeding issues they kept it above 40.
