Blood Management
Lake Health’s innovative Blood Management Program incorporates various methods to help reduce or eliminate the need for donated blood and/or blood components due to blood loss during surgery. Our team uses a variety of blood conservation and management methods, which may result in a shorter hospital stay, decreased exposure to risks related to blood transfusions, reduced blood loss, improved outcomes and increased satisfaction for the patient.
Take a proactive approach to your medical care and discuss your preferences on accepting donated blood and/or blood components with your doctor before surgery. Lake Health is committed to working closely with you to ensure that your care reflects your choices and values.
