Published: July 2021

Patient blood management (PBM) has been proposed as a standard of care in modern perioperative medicine. PBM-related interventions usually are implemented as bundles, but randomized controlled trials on the implementation of PBM as a bundle are missing. This special article focuses on the current evidence and controversies in the clinical practice of PBM and on emerging data related to specific PBM-related interventions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Strong evidence for many PBM-related interventions is limited because of missing studies or the poor quality of published findings and study endpoints. Restrictive blood transfusion and timely interventions to maintain hemoglobin concentration and to reduce blood loss potentially might result in improved patient outcome, although the latter has yet to be proven.

Background: In 2018, Romania established national guidelines for patient blood management (PBM), endorsed by the Romanian Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care (SRATI) and approved by the Ministry of Health. These guidelines emphasize managing anemia, coagulation issues, and the cautious use of allogeneic transfusions to improve patient outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A national survey was conducted among Romanian anesthesiologists to assess PBM guideline adoption.

Introduction: Preoperative anemia affects approximately one third of surgical patients. It increases the risk of blood transfusion and influences short- and medium-term functional outcomes, increases comorbidities, complications and costs. The "Patient Blood Management" (PBM) programs, for integrated and multidisciplinary management of patients, are considered as paradigms of quality care and have as one of the fundamental objectives to correct perioperative anemia.
