Summary

Over the last decade, there have been three major developments in perioperative blood management. Firstly, the recognition of preoperative anaemia and perioperative transfusion as risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality. Secondly, there is much greater involvement of haematologists in preoperative planning and perioperative care. Thirdly, there has been a widespread introduction of point-of-care testing and aggressive, protocol-driven blood component use in the management of perioperative bleeding.
