More than a "stodgy old coot", it seems that the old problem of poor communication rears its ugly head. Everyone can agree intellectually that over use of transfusion is bad, however there are unfortunately a disagreement on "how much is bad" and there is unfortunately NOT a united front on reduction of bank blood products. Everyone wants "someone else" to look at the problem!

How much is bad? Any transfusin that could be avoided is bad. That is probably about half of all transfusions.

Does it seems that your program over-transfuses ? Does your OR team actively work together cohesively with a multi-disiplinary goal in avoiding giving the patient any blood products ... or do the big three (Surgeon, Anesthesia and Perfusion) live in three different worlds and blood product usage doesn't seem to be important.
