Article description
- PBM is the broad implementation of many factors in a multidisciplinary fashion with considering the four central tenets of PBM, including (1) correcting anaemia, (2) optimizing coagulation, (3) blood conservation modalities, and (4) patient-centred decision making to achieve improved patient outcomes.
- A collaborative project of STS, SCA, AmSECT, and SABM included reviewing the current literature, revising previous 2011 guidelines, and developing a series of practice guidelines that reflect the existing evidence and practice portfolios used in cardiothoracic surgery North America.
- They aimed to present the most comprehensive set of guidelines possible.
- The participating societies developed these guidelines without commercial support and will be reviewed for a potential update within five years of publication.
Summary:
- All current recommendations for patient blood management, classified by intervention type and in descending order of class of recommendation and level of evidence, are presented in the table below.
