Perioperative Blood Management: A Physician’s Handbook, 3rd edition

Edited by Aryeh Shander, MD, FCCM, FCCP, and Jonathan H. Waters, MD

Published jointly by AABB and the Society for the Advancement of Blood Management (SABM), this Handbook contains essential information for practitioners who recognize the duty to consider all alternatives in care, both to select transfusion and to avoid transfusion. The broad range of material discusses Jehovah’s Witness patients, acute normovolemic hemodilution, hyperbaric oxygen, therapy, artificial oxygen carriers, recombinant Factor VIIa, anemia prevention, and a host of other aspects of this growing field. It is small enough to fit in a lab coat pocket, yet comprehensive enough to answer many of the questions that arise in daily practice.

Key topics include:

• Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management.
• Adjunctive intraoperative therapies.
• Point-of-care testing.
• Management of special patient populations, including new chapters on orthopedic surgery and medical oncology.
