What is bloodless medicine?

Bloodless Medicine is already a reality on the global scene! Many people, for religious conviction, do not submit to blood transfusion, especially Jehovah‘s Witnesses. There are also other people who do not accept it, people who take care of their health, knowledge of the potential complications of the use of blood and its components or other personal issues. There is strong scientific evidence showing, above all, patients who avoid transfusion or even a small amount of blood and have fewer complications, with a much faster recovery and much shorter hospital stay. These benefits of managing one‘s own blood include a low level of postoperative complications, including tachycardia, stroke and infections. Patients also have a very much reduced risk of immunological complications, including allergic reactions, as they are less exposed to viruses or infections and do not risk receiving some type of different blood, showing itself as a very safe alternative, especially in times of pandemic (dengue, chikungunya, zika and now the covid itself).
