Patient Blood Management (PBM) is defined as a set of evidence-based care to optimize medical and surgical outcomes for patients, managing and preserving clinically the patient’s own blood.
The blood management focuses on the patient’s needs and conditions that typically lead to transfusions, such as blood loss, coagulopathies, platelet dysfunction, and anemia. Additionally, it requires a multidisciplinary and multiprofessional approach and aims for the rational use of blood products within the hospital setting.
