Abstract:
In women of reproductive age, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth, patient blood management (PBM) plays an important role in reducing the risk of anemia and hemorrhage. These conditions are leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. By promoting early detection and treatment of iron deficiency anaemia, the implementation of a holistic PBM programme enables better outcomes for both, the mother and child. Implementing PBM protocols in perioperative care of women and perinatal care of parturients is essential to enhancing women's, maternal and neonatal health on a global scale.
