<div>Patient Blood Management (PBM) is an innovative clinical concept that aims to reduce the need for<br>allogenic blood transfusions, cut health-care costs, and avert or correct the risk factors related to<br>blood transfusion, thus minimizing the rate of side effects and complications. This comprehensive<br>hands-on volume offers a three-point approach for the implementation of PBM to improve patient<br>outcome, focusing on how to prevent or treat anemia, reduce blood loss, and increase anemia<br>tolerance. The book also goes beyond preoperative PBM, with detailed accounts of coagulation<br>disorder management and the administration of coagulation products and platelet concentrates.<br><br>Special Features:<br><ul><li>Presents<p>a clear three-pillar strategy for the application of PBM: diagnosis and</p><p>treatment of anemia, reduction of peri-interventional blood loss, and</p><p>optimization of the tolerance to anemia in the everyday clinical setting</p></li><li>Covers<p>issues such as PBM during surgery, requirements for modern transfusion</p><p>medicine, ordering blood products, the role of pre-anesthesia clinics,</p><p>benchmarking processes, and potential implications of PBM in the public</p><p>health sector</p></li><li>Overview of research in PBM including landmark studies and current clinical trials</li><li>Boxes in each chapter highlighting key information, core statements, and summaries</li><li>A multidisciplinary and international team of contributors experienced in PBM</li></ul>Patient Blood Management<p>is a guide for clinicians and residents whose patients are at risk for</p><p>anemia, coagulation disorders, or severe blood loss. Anesthesiologists,</p><p>surgeons, and specialists involved in the use of blood and blood</p><p>products can use the book for quick reference or to learn more about a</p><p>leading-edge concept for optimizing patient safety and improving</p><p>outcome.<br></p></div>
