Douglas Colquhoun, an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan Medical School, shares insights on Patient Blood Management (PBM) during surgery. He discusses how rigorous adherence to PBM guidelines can significantly reduce postoperative complications, particularly in hip and knee arthroplasties. The conversation touches on the link between effective PBM practices and lower rates of major cardiac events, as well as the challenges of integrating these protocols into healthcare systems. Cost-effectiveness in PBM techniques is also explored, prompting a reevaluation of surgical practices.
