Description
The source material this text shares with Perioperative Blood Management: A Physician’s Handbook (also published by AABB and SABM) is matched by an equal amount of expanded and new material too detailed for a handbook format. Among the 18 chapters from more than 30 expert authors are some topics rarely addressed in the literature as they relate to blood management: quality, business plan development (including a sample plan) and pediatric surgery, to name a few. This book will prove to be an essential and accessible reference for the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, transfusion specialists, clinicians and nurses.
Highlights include the following:
- Program development
- Quality systems
- Economics of blood management
- Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative techniques
- Pretransfusion testing
- Preoperative optimization
- Transfusion decision making
- Blood sequestration
- Point-of-care testing
- Topical hemostatics and fibrin sealants
- Ancillary techniques
- The cancer patient
- Special surgical settings, including liver, obstetric, pediatric, and cardiac surgery
