| Abstract |
Preoperative anemia has a prevalence of approximately 30 % and is one of the strongest predictors of perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion. It is rarely treated although it is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of postoperative complications. Additionally, the high variability in the worldwide usage of RBC transfusions is alarming. Due to these serious deficits in patient care, in 2011 the World Health Organization recommended the implementation of a patient blood management (PBM). This article provides information about PBM as a multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach. A selective literature search was carried out in the Medline and Cochrane library databases including consideration of national and international guidelines. A PBM promotes the medically and ethically appropriate use of all available resources, techniques and materials in favor of an optimized perioperative patient care. Patients' own resources should be specifically protected, strengthened and used and include (i) diagnosis and therapy of preoperative anemia, (ii) minimizing perioperative blood loss, (iii) blood-conserving surgical techniques, (iv) restriction of diagnostic blood sampling, (v) utilization of individual anemia tolerance, (vi) optimal coagulation and hemotherapy concepts and (vii) guideline-based, rational indications for the use of RBC transfusions. A PBM should be advocated as an incentive to evaluate and critically optimize local conditions. An individual, interdisciplinarily structured bundle of different PBM measures has great potential to optimize the quality of patient care and to make it safer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 January 2016.
All research outputs
#16,578,616
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Die Chirurgie
#182
of 435 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#158,352
of 283,789 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Die Chirurgie
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 435 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 283,789 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
