Patients undergoing major surgery and anesthesia are at risk of important complications such as bleeding, organ injury, and death. Our research focuses on interventions that can reduce the risk of complications after surgery. Other areas of interest are perioperative blood conservation, benefits and harmful effects of blood products, and identification of physiological indications for blood transfusion.
