Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Institute (BMSI) - A private, educational institute founded in 1997 in Cleveland, Ohio by nationally recognized leaders in the bloodless field. Through our research, we continually develop new standards for applying bloodless medical techniques. Through our education efforts we are protecting patients and their caregivers with regard to the use of blood and blood products.
Bloodless Medicine Research - "Bloodless medicine" is a modern field of research which studies the available strategies for providing medical care without allogeneic transfusions. In most cases this is undertaken because of religious convictions, but not always. Any technological improvement, as well as any therapeutic strategy, that permit the avoidance of the allogeneic blood, have to be carefully followed in the universities. Our site propose to coordinate research in this field.
Jehovah's Witnesses-The Surgical/Ethical Challenge - There are over half a million Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States who do not accept blood transfusions. The number of Witnesses and those associated with them is increasing. - Journal of the American Medical Association
Medical Care and Blood - With good reason, many now ask, 'How safe are blood transfusions?' But this is more than a medical issue. It has made news involving Jehovah's Witnesses. Have you wondered why these ethical people, who believe in good medicine, refuse to accept blood?
NoBlood! - The Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Network - NoBlood!'s team of participants is committed to advancing medical treatment that respects the patient's right to quality care and treatment without blood or blood-based products.
