Patient Blood Management (PBM)

Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a medical approach designed to improve patient outcomes by minimizing the need for blood transfusions. It involves three key strategies: optimizing a patient's blood health before surgery, managing blood loss during procedures, and enhancing recovery after. PBM aims to ensure patients receive the safest and most effective care by using strategies such as better nutrition, medications, and advanced surgical techniques. By focusing on preserving a patient's own blood and reducing unnecessary transfusions, PBM enhances recovery, reduces complications, and can lower healthcare costs.
