Florian Piekarski on Perioperative Blood Management When Allogeneic Transfusion is Not Aaccepted
Florian Piekarski, Head of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology at University Hospital Bonn, shared on LinkedIn:
”In our latest article in Die Anaesthesiologie, we examine perioperative blood management in patients who do not accept allogeneic blood transfusions, using Jehovah’s Witnesses as an example.
We show how patient blood management, structured education, and interdisciplinary planning enable safe surgical care while preserving patient autonomy.
