• Learning Objectives

  After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

  • Explain the role of antifibrinolytic therapy in reducing intraoperative blood loss and identify the clinical settings in which this therapy is useful.
  • Define acute normovolemic hemodilution and recognize how this intervention reduces intraoperative blood loss.
  • Describe the strategies of deliberate hypotension in blood conservation management.

  Program Description

  The field of patient blood management (PBM) has advanced considerably in the past decade with the recognition of the importance of blood conservation. For surgical patients, this involves preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies to minimize blood loss, maximize blood conservation, and reduce exposure to blood transfusion. This eCast will examine interventions to reduce intraoperative blood loss including: use of antifibrinolytic agents, topical hemostatic agents, acute normovolemic hemodilution, deliberate hypotension, and avoidance of hypothermia.
