摘要
When treating Jehovah's Witnesses, the surgical team should carefully discuss the risks and clarify which products and treatments are available and might be acceptable to the patient. A range of multidisciplinary pre, peri and post-operative blood conservation strategies can be employed to reduce the need for transfusion and should be considered in the management of all surgical patients.
