Bloodless Surgery
The Center for Bloodless Care was opened in 2000, pioneering bloodless care medicine in the region. We understand that you may choose not to receive a blood transfusion for a variety of reasons — whether religious, philosophical, or arising from safety concerns. With this in mind, the Center offers an array of alternative treatment options that ensure you receive the best possible care in a manner you are comfortable with.
Advantages of Bloodless Care
More and more people are turning to bloodless care as it has several advantages:
- Reduces the danger of infection and immunosuppression
- May allow for quicker hospital discharge and faster recovery
- Allays concerns about blood shortages
Sophisticated Medical Technology
Practicing bloodless medicine and surgery involves sophisticated medical technology and an advanced knowledge of blood conservation techniques. Our Center for Bloodless Care uses the newest drugs and techniques that medical technology has to offer. We provide a range of safe and effective therapies, including the use of:
- Pharmaceuticals that encourage red blood cell production and reduce blood loss during surgery
- Lab technologies that allow less blood to be drawn for testing
- Peri-operative and intra-operative procedures enabling the use of a patient's own blood
- Specialized methodologies and equipment that facilitate diminished blood loss
