1.	Anemia 01/01/2016 - "Use of a protocol to manage anemia in these patients in a center with established patient blood management and bloodless medicine and surgery programs is feasible and likely to contribute to improved outcome, whereas more studies are needed to better delineate the impact of such programs." 01/01/2019 - "Intensive care unit nurses attended educational sessions focused on increasing knowledge regarding phlebotomy blood loss, hospital-acquired anemia, blood conservation strategies, and utilization of blood conservation devices. " 01/01/2018 - "The survey focused on management of preoperative anemia, blood conservation strategies, estimation of blood loss, and transfusion decision making in a multidisciplinary setting. " 01/01/2015 - "A blood conservation strategy (BCS) focused on limitation of hemodilution and tolerance of perioperative anemia was used in 57 patients (43.2%); the remaining 75 (56.8%) patients were managed by traditional methods. " 10/01/2009 - "Until then, clinicians should focus on an individualized assessment of anemia tolerance, consider blood conservation strategies and understand the potential risks and benefits of blood transfusion."
2.	Cicatrix (Scar) 01/01/1987 - "Because of the advantages of a relatively bloodless surgery; decreased postoperative discomfort; minimal swelling and scarring; and the laser's ability to coagulate, vaporize, or cut, the CO2 surgical laser offers the dental surgeon a viable and in many cases an improved alternative to the scalpel. "
3.	Hemorrhage 05/22/2013 - "The present study for France demonstrates a significant increase of hospital LOS and associated costs following post-surgical bleeding, supporting the need for blood conservation strategies." 05/31/2011 - "This study characterizes the increased hospital LOS and cost associated with bleeding-related complications and/or transfusions occurring as a consequence of surgery, and supports implementation of blood-conservation strategies." 06/14/2023 - "However, serious hemorrhage occurred, which was rescued by the multimodality blood conservation strategy. " 01/01/2021 - "Prevention of intra-gland bleeding and congestion, careful removal of thick capsules, and bloodless surgeries without electrocoagulation are important for reducing false positive and false negative results. " 09/01/2020 - "M.B.A.Ph. avoids palatal fibromuscular resection and minimize iatrogenic bleeding (bloodless surgery). "
4.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 05/08/2023 - "Our study suggests that preoperative TAE of hypervascular musculoskeletal tumors allowed for bloodless surgery in 71% of patients and minimal transfusion needs for the remaining 29%." 12/24/2020 - "Therapeutic tumor embolization may play a role in bloodless surgeries and increase surgical and oncologic prognoses. " 03/01/2018 - "Among the new principles, the newest indications, the bloodless surgery and the vascular exclusion of the liver, the "associating liver partition and portal vein occlusion for staged hepatectomy" (ALPPS) - as presently the fastest and most successful method for liver regeneration, and the "downsizing of tumors" treatment for the interest of resection of unresectable tumours are analyzed and evaluated. " 12/01/2016 - "To describe the perioperative blood conservation strategies and postoperative outcomes in patients who undergo complex spinal surgery for tumor resection and who also refuse blood product transfusion.

" 11/01/2007 - "The hybrid approach thereby reduced the complexity of the surgical procedure, facilitated the use of a minimized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, reduced the degree of hemodilution and blood trauma and resulted in transfusion-free surgery and excellent clinical outcome in an 11 kg child." 03/01/2007 - "Can a bloodless surgery program work in the trauma setting?" 04/01/2002 - "We also discuss the changing trends and competing risks associated with transfusions as well as current evidence for different blood conservation strategies in the context of trauma." 12/01/2000 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a comprehensive intraoperative blood conservation strategy on blood loss, transfusion requirements, and wound outcome in burn surgery.
