This is a question you will be asked by surgeons daily. This question is typically asked near the end of the case as both the surgery and anesthesia teams must record estimated blood loss (EBL), amount of IV fluids and blood products, and amount urine output. Surgeons often prefer minimizing this estimate to make the surgery seem like it went very well and to avoid blame for some devasting post-operative complications (e.g., myocardial infraction).

"If I disagree with that estimate, I will tell the surgeon and show the way I estimated blood loss. If we continue to disagree, I will record what I believe is the right amount and inform my attending."
