Before surgery, anesthesiologists assess your #bloodhealth as part of preoperative care. Why? Because knowing your hemoglobin, iron levels, and overall blood status helps surgical teams provide safer care and better outcomes.

The urgent need to implement patient blood management: policy brief In the past four decades, increased awareness of the inherent risks of transfusion has resulted in major initiatives to mitigate those risks through improvements in blood component safety.

6/ The WHO advocates for Patient Blood Management (PBM): a patient-centered approach focusing on preserving a patient’s own blood. It’s time to move beyond transfusion-first thinking to a more comprehensive strategy. 🌍 #PatientBloodManagement #BloodHealth

5/ Beyond supply: Reducing demand for transfusions is equally, if not more, important. We must identify those likely to truly benefit from (or be harmed by) transfusion and explore alternative strategies to correct blood abnormalities and improve outcomes. #PatientBloodManagement
