The Jehovah’s Witnesses are a unique group of patients that can pose a challenge to the anesthesiologist given their desire to avoid transfusion of blood products. This religious belief can include refusal of red cells, white cells, plasma, as well as platelets. The perioperative care of such patients can include the use of bloodless techniques in order to respect their beliefs. Given the desire to avoid blood products, it is imperative to utilize strategies that will prevent unnecessary transfusion. It is also important to understand the ethical and or legal ramifications of overriding parental/adolescent requests for no transfusion as well as acceptance of adolescent transfusion refusal.

This case report describes the treatment of 67-year-old Jehovah's Witness with severe anemia and gastrointestinal haemorrhage from gastric leiomyoma and peptic ulcer. Minimal invasive surgery with meticulous hemostasis, controlled hypotension, hyperoxic normovolemia and normotermia were main principles. Minimal blood samples for necessary laboratory parametars and noninvasive monitoring were ways to decrease iatrogenic blood loss. The operative and postoperative period were uneventful and well tolerated. The patient was discharged home after eighteen days and well in follow up period.

Intraoperative Blood Salvage

A 35-year-old Jehovah’s Witness patient with total placenta previa was referred to our hospital at 30 weeks of gestation. She refused autologous and allogeneic blood transfusions, but agreed to receive acute normovolaemic haemodilution, intraoperative blood salvage and biological products. At 35 weeks, she underwent emergent caesarean delivery because of labour pains. Multidisciplinary therapy, including the insertion of balloon catheters into the bilateral common iliac arteries, acute normovolaemic haemodilution and intraoperative blood salvage, avoided hysterectomy; however, blood loss included amniotic fluid which was estimated to be 1910 mL. These treatments may be effective for total placenta previa in blood-refusal patients.
