The source material this text shares with Perioperative Blood Management: A Physician s Handbook (also published by AABB and SABM) is matched by an equal amount of expanded and new material too detailed for a handbook format. Among the 18 chapters from more than 30 expert authors are some topics rarely addressed in the literature as they relate to blood management: quality, business plan development (including a sample plan) and pediatric surgery, to name a few.

Highlights include the following:
Program development
Quality systems
Economics of blood management
Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative techniques
Pretransfusion testing
Preoperative optimization
Transfusion decision making
Blood sequestration
Point-of-care testing
Topical hemostatics and fibrin sealants
Ancillary techniques
The cancer patient
Special surgical settings, including liver, obstetric, pediatric, and cardiac surgery
