Background: Treating patients with acute surgical bleeding is common for anaesthesiologists and surgeons. A visual estimation of blood loss is often used in this setting, although studies prove its inaccuracy. Objectives: Which parameters and techniques do anaesthesiologists use to quantify blood loss? Methods: We conducted an online questionnaire survey. The questionnaire was sent to 8 anaesthesiology departments. It comprised 8 questions referring to current blood loss quantification. Results: Data of 215 participants were analysed. The majority (65%) of participants rated visual estimation to be suitable for blood loss quantification. Alternative techniques are unknown in many cases. Conclusion: Visual estimation is a common method applied to determine blood loss. Further investigations evaluating the impact of novel systems on haemotherapy are needed.
