  • The French National Authority for Health (HAS) has released new guidelines for patient blood management (PBM) during surgeries, focusing on three key areas: optimizing red blood cell count, minimizing blood loss, and managing anemia tolerance.
  • Preoperative recommendations include identifying anemia and iron deficiency early, especially for surgeries with a higher risk of bleeding.

Yet laboratory-developed liquid antibody cocktails have practical limitations, because of lack of standardisation and poor stability.
