    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology and Surgical Techniques
    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Patient Blood Management

    Background:

    • Elective surgery necessitates strategies to minimize blood loss and the need for allogeneic blood transfusions.
    • Effective blood conservation is crucial for patient safety and resource management in surgical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of blood conservation methods in elective surgery.
    • To detail preoperative and intraoperative techniques for reducing homologous blood transfusion requirements.

    Main Methods:

    • Briefly discusses methods to reduce blood loss: tourniquets, vasoconstrictors, regional anesthesia, and hypotensive anesthesia.
    • Details preoperative and intraoperative autotransfusion techniques.
    • Explains blood scavenging and reinfusion from the surgical site.

    Main Results:

    • Various methods exist to reduce blood loss during surgery.
    • Autotransfusion and intraoperative scavenging are effective blood conservation techniques.
    • Minimizing homologous blood transfusion is achievable through these methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Blood conservation in elective surgery involves reducing both blood loss and transfusion needs.
    • Preoperative and intraoperative autotransfusion, including surgical site scavenging, are key strategies.
    • These techniques contribute to safer surgical procedures and better patient outcomes.
