Abstract
It is a common practice in many anaesthetic centres throughout the world to require a minimum preoperative haemoglobin level of 10g/100 ml of blood or more, but very few references are quoted by writers on this subject. A search of relevant medical literature has been made in an attempt to establish the origin and significance of the preoperative haemoglobin requirements recommended.Keywords
