Protocol summary

Study aim
General Objectives: Determining the effect of blood transfusion on arterial blood oxygen saturation in patients with COVID-19
Design
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, one-way blind, randomized, on 80 patients (40 in the intervention group and 40 in the control group). Randomization will be done by the Blocked Randomization method. The intervention group includes patients with COVID19 who match the inclusion criteria and receive a unit of blood (Packed cell) in addition to receiving standard treatment. There are similar conditions in the control group, but patients do not receive blood.
Settings and conduct
Demographic information, admission and discharge day, patients' underlying diseases, symptoms at the time of arrival, laboratory findings of patients admitted to Bushehr Persian Gulf Martyrs Hospital are recorded in the checklist.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion: Confirmation of the COVID-19; hospitalization of the patient; more than 25% of pulmonary involvement in chest CT; SPO2 equal to or less than 94%; Hb less than 12 g/dl (female) or 13 (male); Absence of contraindications of blood transfusion; Satisfaction of the patient; exclusion: blood transfusion need for other reasons.
Intervention groups
In the intervention group, in addition to receiving the treatment process, patients receive a unit of packed cell blood. In the control group, patients will receive the standard treatment for COVID-19 as the intervention group (except for not receiving packed cells).
Main outcome variables
"Oxygen saturation percentage", "Hemoglobin", "Improvement of respiratory condition", "Number of hospitalization days"

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization will be done by the Blocked Randomization method. So that two groups T and C are considered as intervention and control groups. Allocating two groups equally in each block can be: TTCC, TCTC, TCCT, CCTT, CTCT, CTTC. Considering that there are 40 patients in each group, a total of 80 samples are needed, so from the above blocks, 20 blocks are randomly selected (placing all 6 types of blocks in a container and selecting it randomly and by placement). And they are written in a chain, for example: TTCC-CCTT-TTCC-CTTC-CTCT-TCTC-TCCT-TCCT-CTTC-TTCC… Group T patients will eventually be in the intervention group and group C patients will be in the control group, and it will be pre-determined in which group the patient will be placed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)

In this study, the data analyzer is not aware of which group is the control group and which group is in the intervention group.
