Open Access Abstract Introduction Recent data indicate that transfusion of packed red blood cells pRBCs may increase the risk for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS in critically ill patients. Uncertainty remains regarding the strength of this relationship. Methods To quantify the association between transfusions and intensive care unit ICU -onset ARDS we performed a cohort study within Crit a multicenter prospective observational study of transfusion practice in the ICU which enrolled 4 892 critically ill patients in 284 ICUs in the United States.
