Patient Blood Management.
- Authors
Uhl, Lynne
- Abstract
The author presents the case of a 68-year-old woman who is contemplating autologous blood donation prior to elective total knee replacement (KR), which was discussed at the Surgery Grand Rounds at Beth Israel deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts on February 24, 2010. She explains the epidemiology, costs and associated risks of blood transfusion in the surgical setting. She explores the preoperative blood management options that are available to the patient. She also advises clinicians about some strategies that can be used to lower the risk of allogeneic transfusion in the perioperative period, which include acute normovolemic hemodilution and red blood cell recovery techniques.
