Blood Management in Surgery

Blood management in surgery involves carefully planning and using strategies to minimize blood loss and ensure patients have the blood they need during and after procedures. This includes techniques like better surgical methods, minimizing the need for transfusions, and using medications that reduce bleeding. It also involves preparing in advance by assessing blood levels and using blood recycling systems. The goal is to improve patient safety, reduce risks associated with blood transfusions, and promote efficient recovery. Effective blood management is a collaborative effort among surgeons, anesthesiologists, and healthcare teams to optimize outcomes.
