Immunoglobulins
Antibodies produced in the lymphatic cells to combat infections or other invading substances.

Intra-operative Blood Cell Recovery and Reinfusion
The process of collecting blood lost during surgery and returning it to the patient after being appropriately processed.

Invasive Procedure
An invasive procedure is defined as any procedure excluding venipuncture and IV therapy which involves puncture or incision of the skin or insertion of an instrument or foreign material into the body, including, but not limited to, percutaneous aspirations and biopsies, cardiac and vascular catheterizations, internal laser procedures, endoscopies, angioplasties, and implantations.

Iron Therapy (oral and intravenous)
Therapy with high doses of Iron, a mineral essential for the formation of red blood cells, especially for the formation of hemoglobin. This therapy is used in iron depletion anemia and before surgery, in which large amounts of blood loss are expected, to enhance the condition of the patient and the hemoglobin level. It is frequently combined with erythropoietin. The use of this therapy effectively reduces the risks of blood loss by increasing the oxygen transport capacity of the blood.
