To reduce transfusion-related morbidity and mortality, it is recommended
that an integrated approach to blood management is employed using all
available tools to reduce a patient`s exposure to donor blood. Meeting
the need for a book covering the concepts of blood management as a trend
towards multidisciplinary blood management, this new edition is an
important resource, providing healthcare professionals with a tool to
develop background knowledge in blood management, its organization,
methods and tools. Practicing clinicians will be fully prepared to
successfully start and run blood management programs.
