This presentation explores the critical field of Patient Blood Management (PBM), emphasizing how real-time data can significantly enhance clinical decision-making processes related to blood transfusions.
The document outlines the evolving landscape of transfusion practices, driven by factors such as cost, risk, and the need for evidence-based approaches. It highlights the limitations of traditional, intermittent hemoglobin testing and introduces the advantages of continuous, non-invasive hemoglobin monitoring (SpHb) for providing immediate insights into a patient's status.
Discover how technologies, including those from Philips, are enabling healthcare providers at institutions like Englewood Hospital and Medical Center to optimize blood utilization, improve patient outcomes, and manage resources more effectively. The presentation details the application and benefits of PBM and real-time monitoring across various complex surgical procedures.
For general information on hemoglobin testing, refer to Mayo Clinic.
