  • Title: [Treatment of severe anaemia in patients who refuse blood transfusion].
    Author: Lorentzen K, Kjær B, Olsen KS.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2014 Mar 31; 176(7):. PubMed ID: 25096348.
    Abstract:
    In situations involving serious bleeding and anaemia, a refusal of blood transfusion puts the clinician in an ethical and medical dilemma, as standard treatment is not an option, and the patient risks dying of a potentially reversible cause. This status article describes methods of treatment under the concept of "bloodless medicine", where surgical and supportive techniques are used to manage and treat severe anaemia.
