At the beginning of the 2000s, PBM (patient blood management) began in the United States, which consists of emphasizing the health of the patient‘s own blood instead of donor blood. Due to the need for more donors, numerous transmissible diseases, and the inherent risks of transfusion, whether early or late, clinical and surgical doctors followed a new approach in the treatment of anemias and coagulopathies, noting that the results of the treatments were extremely good in those patients who did not receive blood or blood components. In addition, they saw that the costs of hospitalizations, both clinical and surgical, became lower.
Here is a premonition of good things happening in the world, and which have already been adopted in Brazil by several good hospitals, including our Institute of Bloodless Surgery since 2006. If you are going to have surgery, ask your doctor if he practices PBM !!!!
BLOODLESS SURGERY IS POSSIBLE, SAFE AND IDEAL!
