Prevention and management of anemia and blood loss in the orthopaedic patient undergoing surgery is a major concern for healthcare providers and patients. Although transfusion technology can be lifesaving, there are risks to blood products that have led to increased awareness of blood management and development of hospital patient blood management programs. Use of patient blood management can be effective in addressing preoperative anemia, a major modifiable risk factor in patients undergoing surgery. In this informational article, evidence-based practice guidelines for perioperative blood management are addressed. A case scenario is introduced focusing on a patient whose religious preference is Jehovah's Witness having “no blood wishes” undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. Orthopaedic nurses can facilitate optimal patient blood management through multidisciplinary collaboration.
