* Bloodless means that medical and/or surgical treatment is provided without the use of banked (stored) allogenic blood or primary blood components. Blood loss often occurs during surgery, potentially resulting in the need for a blood transfusion. A bloodless program endeavors to minimize blood loss by utilizing special blood conservation methods.
