Heart surgery is one of the most delicate and complex procedures in modern medicine. Ensuring patient safety during and after cardiac surgery involves more than just surgical precision—it requires a comprehensive approach to managing blood loss and oxygen delivery. At Phoenix Hospitals Mumbai, evidence-based transfusion strategies play a critical role in improving surgical outcomes, reducing complications, and enhancing recovery in heart surgery patients.
Blood transfusion is often required during cardiac surgeries such as bypass operations, valve replacements, and complex congenital heart repairs. However, unnecessary or excessive transfusion can increase the risk of infections, lung complications, and prolonged ICU stays. That’s why Phoenix Hospitals follows a restrictive transfusion protocol—administering blood only when absolutely necessary, based on a patient’s oxygen-carrying capacity and overall stability.
With the help of advanced intraoperative monitoring, such as continuous hemoglobin monitoring and point-of-care coagulation testing, surgeons and anesthesiologists can make real-time decisions during surgery. This allows for precise assessment of blood loss and clotting function, ensuring targeted interventions without over-reliance on blood products.

Phoenix Hospitals also employs cell salvage technology, which collects, processes, and returns the patient’s own blood lost during surgery. This technique not only reduces the need for donor blood but also minimizes immune reactions and enhances recovery. In addition, preoperative optimization—including anemia management, iron supplementation, and erythropoietin therapy—is routinely practiced to improve patient readiness for surgery.
Combining clinical expertise, latest surgical techniques, and smart transfusion practices, Phoenix Hospitals continues to deliver exceptional cardiac care—where precision meets compassion, and every step is guided by patient-first values.
