The limitation of resource of blood and risk of transfusion-transmitted infections contribute to development and generalization of restrictive transfusion strategy. However, advanced evidences of clinical trials indicated a restrictive transfusion threshold after cardiac surgery was not superior to a liberal threshold with respect to morbidity or health care costs. It is time to optimize patient blood management but not free-transfusion and increase of risk of patients. The duration of red-cell storage was not associated with significant differences in the mortality and morbidity of patients. Three new pathogen-reduction technologies and pharmaceutical intervenes may provide safe of transfusion and improvement of outcomes.
