  • Ensuring meticulous surgical hemostasis.
  • Accepting lower perioperative hemoglobin thresholds.
  • Consulting transfusion medicine experts for component therapy decisions.

    • Main Results:

    • A comprehensive approach to blood conservation is more effective than single methods.
    • Pharmacological and surgical techniques significantly reduce blood loss.
    • Expert consultation optimizes the use of blood components.
    • Careful patient blood management can mitigate transfusion risks.

    Conclusions:

    • Autologous transfusion is one component of a larger blood conservation strategy.
    • Integrated approaches involving multiple methods and expert guidance are essential.
    • The benefits of life-saving transfusions should be weighed against their risks.
