Should red blood cell transfusion be immediately given to a cirrhotic patient with active upper gastrointestinal bleeding?

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis and a leading cause of death. Blood transfusion is often required. In this paper, we demonstrated that a cirrhotic case developed repeated hematemesis followed by blood transfusion and discussed the timing of blood transfusion for active variceal hemorrhage.
