2024 EACTS/EACTAIC Guidelines on patient blood management in adult cardiac surgery in collaboration with EBCP
Clinical practice guidelines consolidate and evaluate all pertinent evidence available at their time of formulation on a specific topic, the goal being to assist physicians in determining the most effective management strategies for patients with a particular condition. These guidelines assess the impact on patient outcomes and weigh the risk–benefit ratio of various diagnostic or therapeutic approaches. Although not a replacement for textbooks, they provide supplementary information on topics relevant to current clinical practice, becoming an essential tool to support physicians' decision making in daily practice. Nonetheless, it is crucial to understand that these recommendations are intended to guide but not dictate clinical practice; they should be adapted to each patient's unique needs. Clinical situations vary, presenting a diverse array of variables and circumstances.
