Abstract
In situations involving serious bleeding and anaemia, a refusal of blood transfusion puts the clinician in an ethical and medical dilemma, as standard treatment is not an option, and the patient risks dying of a potentially reversible cause. This status article describes methods of treatment under the concept of "bloodless medicine", where surgical and supportive techniques are used to manage and treat severe anaemia.
