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
