Patient Blood Management

From implementation to cultural change in care

At Fundação Hospital de Clínicas Gaspar Vianna, she led the systematic implementation of Patient Blood Management, making it the first public hospital in the state of Pará to adopt this strategy.

During the first year, the program documented approximate reductions of 25% in red blood cell concentrate use and 60% in fresh plasma use during surgical procedures.

Her PBM work also includes professional education, protocol development, monitoring of transfusion practices, and technical participation in national and Ibero-American initiatives and networks.
