Abstract

An overview of Patient Blood Management (PBM), with its main scope to preserve the patient's own blood to improve the patient's outcome, is presented here, including the research gaps that needs to be addressed, particularly in the pediatric age group. Next, novel techniques to analyse PBM data and the challenges and strategies of PBM implementation will also be discussed.
