Program Description: Patients may refuse blood transfusion for religious or other reasons. Bloodless medicine has been described as extreme patient blood management (PBM) and uses many of the same approaches as PBM. This program will review key elements of bloodless care programs and focus on advances in bloodless medicine and surgery. Bloodless care outcomes in specific patient populations will be considered. The program will include case studies highlighting the use and availability of blood alternatives including hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) for patients who refuse transfusion. The faculty will also identify lessons learned from managing patients without blood transfusion that can be applied to providing safe and effective support for all patients with anemia.
