Overview Blood transfusion in the operating room can be life-saving. However, blood is a scarce resource and blood transfusion has been identified by the AMA and Joint Commission and as one of the most commonly overused therapies. Our transfusion project team is dedicated to optimizing patients’ perioperative outcomes and minimizing exposure to blood products, using them only when the evidence best supports it. https://safetransfusion.ucsf.edu Affiliated Lab Manuel Perioperative Health Equity Lab Principal investigator UCSF Solmaz Manuel, MD Associate Clinical Professor Seeking collaborators We welcome one or more UCSF medical student to join us in identifying a specific area of interest and exploring an important research question.
