A member asked:
Why do doctors want to do a blood transfusion before a surgery is performed? in regards to a hysteretomy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood loss: If your hemoglobin levels are low before surgery we know that they will fall even lower from blood loss during surgery. Thus, blood products are often given in advance for low hemoglobin levels.
