Preoperative Anemia and Blood Management Strategies
摘要
The symptoms of anemia have been known since ancient times, and people have tried to cure its symptoms by various methods, including ferruginous water. The term “anemia” known to us today was introduced around 1843 by the French physician Gabriel Andral, one of the founders of scientific hematology. The word anemia comes from the ancient Greek ἄναιμος ánaimos “bloodless” and is composed of the prefix αν- an- “un-”, “without”, “not,” and the word αἷμα haíma “blood”.
