Blood: The familiar red fluid in the body that contains white and red blood cells, platelets, proteins, and other elements. The blood is transported throughout the body by the circulatory system. Blood functions in two directions: arterial and venous. Arterial blood is the means by which oxygen and nutrients are transported to tissues while venous blood is the means by which carbon dioxide and metabolic by-products are transported to the lungs and kidneys, respectively, for removal from the body.
Patient Blood Management (PBM) is an emerging clinical concept designed to reduce unnecessary, excessive and avoidable blood transfusions. Interest in PBM has grown rapidly throughout t...
