AbstractSeveral techniques to limit blood loss and salvage lost blood are available to surgeons, physicians, and personnel who treat complex spinal disorders. These techniques include red blood cell augmentation, intraoperative antifibrinolytic administration, use of topical hemostatic agents, and intraoperative blood salvage and postoperative blood salvage. A substantial amount of research has been directed toward reducing perioperative blood loss in spinal surgery. More efforts need to be directed toward effective perioperative blood management in complex spinal surgery.
