It’s Patient Blood Management (PBM) Awareness Week, a time to raise awareness about how optimizing a patient’s own blood before surgery can lead to safer care and faster recovery.

Sheila McCarthy, RN, plays a key role in this work through Southlake’s Blood Conservation Clinic. Sheila works with patients having complex procedures to help strengthen their blood health before surgery by increasing haemoglobin levels (Hgb), often avoiding the need for a blood transfusion. Through tailored assessments, she recommends ways to increase iron and protein intake, arranges IV iron infusions, and more.

“PBM is proactive instead of reactive,” says Sheila. “It gives patients time to build strength before surgery, which is what’s best for their physical and emotional well-being.”

By supporting patients in this way, Sheila and the team also help conserve donated blood — a limited, lifesaving resource that depends on voluntary donors.

Sheila is part of OntraC, Ontario’s Provincial Blood Management Program, which works to enhance transfusion practices and promote alternatives to donor blood in surgical patients.

Thank you, Sheila, for your dedication to optimizing care and helping patients feel stronger, safer, and more confident before surgery.
