1. Safety - It eliminates the risks induced by blood transfusions. Apart from contracting blood-borne diseases, there is no risk of human error (www.pbs.org - “Bloodless Surgery”).2. Economical – The cost of blood transfusions can be as high as $500 each. The blood is free, but it still must be packaged, stored and transported, which can cost up to $1,000 for a single patient. Then there are the costs of treating any complications that might arise as well as the additional days the patient needs to stay in the hospital to recover (www.pbs.org - “Bloodless Surgery”).3. Faster recovery – Patients who have had bloodless surgery recover faster and leave the hospital sooner than patients who have received transfusions. The risks and complications of bloodless surgery are much lower. Patients spend less time in intensive care units. Their survival rate is 95% higher than that of patients who took blood, who had a survival rate of 89% (www.pbs.org - “Bloodless Surgery”). Bloodless surgery has become so advanced that people are requesting it not for religious reasons, but because of the safety and cost advantages..
