Core Tip Blood conservation in liver transplantation is critical to reduce transfusion-related morbidity, cost, and immunological complications. Effective strategies begin preoperatively with optimisation of anaemia, correction of coagulopathy, and patient selection. Intraoperative measures include low central venous pressure anaesthesia, meticulous surgical technique, use of cell salvage, point-of-care coagulation monitoring, and targeted component therapy rather than empirical transfusion. Pharmacological adjuncts such as antifibrinolytics further reduce blood loss. Postoperatively, restrictive transfusion thresholds and ongoing hemostatic monitoring are essential. A multidisciplinary, protocol-driven approach significantly improves outcomes and graft survival.
