Moderated by Aryeh Shander, MD - Chief of the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, Pain Management and Hyperbaric Medicine at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center in Englewood, NJ

What is erythropoietin (EPO)? What is recombinant human erythropoietin? How is it made? What is it used for? Does it contain blood fractions? What risks or side-effects are there? Would you consider this medical treatment if you are anemic or you were considering a surgical procedure that might involve considerable blood loss? You will find the answers to these questions, as well as other important information in our feature topic: Erythropoietin (EPO).

Bloodless Healthcare International, Inc. (BHI) is a non-profit organization with the goal of providing free access to a blood management and avoidance knowledge base to every person in the world. Meeting this goal through the maintenance, development and distribution of free content, BHI relies on public donations to run its projects.

How your donation will help

Visitors are not charged to edit, read or use our content. We rely on donations to fund our projects. Our growth in traffic and content requires regular hardware updates to prevent outages without sacrificing functionality. Other outgoings include bandwidth costs, rackspace within a colocation center, sponsorship of specific software development tasks, and, occasionally, travel expenses.

BHI also requires funding to continue its pioneering role in exploring the field of collaborative content creation. In addition, we are pursuing grants to fund the packaging and distribution of NoBlood content to places that do not have access to the Internet. Every donation can make a big difference. If you have any questions regarding the making of donations or BHI, please contact us.
