UC‐MSC treatment (n = 12), n (%) | Control (n = 12), n (%) | |
1a. An increase in vasopressor dose | 1 a | 1 |
1b. In patients receiving mechanical ventilation: worsening hypoxemia | 0 | 0 |
1c. In patients receiving high flow oxygen therapy: worsening hypoxemia, as indicated by requirement of intubation and mechanical ventilation | 0 | 0 |
1d. New cardiac arrhythmia requiring cardioversion | 0 | 1 |
1e. New ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or asystole | 0 | 1 |
1f. A clinical scenario consistent with transfusion incompatibility or transfusion‐related infection | 0 | 0 |
