In general, approximately one-third of patients are found to be anaemic at pre-assessment. Perioperative anaemia and allogenic blood transfusion are both, preventable surgical risks. Administration of blood in the perioperative setting is a risk factor which contributes to poor outcomes.<a href="#mkw061-B1" class="reflinks"><sup>1</sup></a> Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a clinical concept, which when implemented, has the primary goal of avoiding unnecessary blood transfusions and improving patient outcome and safety. This article summarizes PBM and the strategies involved in identifying and managing perioperative anaemia and blood transfusion.</span>
