Introduction:
The Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology (SBCO) developed national guidelines for the rational use of blood concentrates in surgical procedures.
Methods:
Between June and December 2024, a multidisciplinary team of 42 experts formulated 48 key questions on the rational use of blood concentrates in surgery. The guidelines were structured in three phases: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. Expert groups performed literature reviews and proposed preliminary recommendations, which were later refined by the coordinators. An adapted grading system was used to assess the level of evidence, and an online voting process determined consensus among experts.
Conclusion:
Implementing a bloodless surgery protocol requires a meticulous and coordinated approach across multiple medical disciplines. Essential elements for success include patient and staff education, comprehensive preparation, and the use of advanced surgical techniques and technologies to optimize outcomes.
