| | Transfusion Alert: Use of Autologous Blood |
 | | Since most planned surgical procedures are not associated with sufficient blood loss to result in transfusion, autologous blood techniques are not appropriate for all patients. | | | Postoperative blood salvage is used most frequently for cardiac and orthopedic surgical patients. | | | In general, autologous blood donations are indicated for patients having surgical procedures for which blood is usually crossmatched. |

| | Anemia Due to Blood Loss |
| | With chronic anemia or chronic blood loss, the pale infant is not in distress; the infant is normovolemic with a normal BP. | | | In chronic blood loss, therapy is mainly supportive because infants are asymptomatic. | | | Fetofetal transfusion, particularly of the chronic type, is always considered when twins of the same sex are discordant, the smaller twin being the donor twin with the chronic anemia while the larger twin is the recipient with polycythemia and hyperviscosity. |

| | Blood may be transfused as whole blood or as one of its components. | | | This procedure is widely used for surgical procedures, such as cardiac, vascular, orthopedic, urologic, trauma, gynecologic, and transplant surgery, in which the anticipated blood loss is 20 percent or more of the patient's estimated blood volume and there is no contamination of the area by bacteria or cancer cells. | | | If blood loss during surgery is less than anticipated, transfusion of autologous blood may not be medically necessary. |

| | To be fully informed of the risks of weight loss surgery, patients should be given information on alternatives to surgery and alternative forms of surgery, as well as other information, such as potential complications and common post-surgery psychological adjustment issues. | | | The panel’s report recommends future research in a number of areas, including the cost effectiveness of different weight loss surgeries; identification and validation of outcome predictors; the effect of reimbursement policies on the quality of surgical therapies and on economic outcomes; and regional, cultural, and socioeconomic variation in utilization, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. | | | There should also be a blame-free atmosphere in place to encourage the reporting of adverse events, a focus on appropriate education regarding weight-based drug dosing, and an effective tracking and management of medication dispensing and administration. |

| | Adequate marrow response to anemia is evidenced by peripheral blood reticulocytosis or polychromatophilia. | | | Although multidrug (or "shotgun") therapy may provide transient repair of the anemia, such therapy is not justifiable because it risks serious sequelae. | | | A convenient approach to most anemias that result from deficient erythropoiesis is to examine changes in RBC size and shape. |

| | One easy way to educate patients about the effects of modest weight loss would be for more physicians to measure and discuss their patients' body mass index, or BMI, according to George Blackburn, MD, director of the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. | | | In one such study, a group of high blood pressure patients all discontinued their medication; one group made no other changes while the other group lost nearly eight pounds. | | | Only 35% of the patients who made no other lifestyle changes still had normal blood pressure. |
