Tiny Perfusion Letter #827

We can safely assume that cardiac surgery still is the discipline with the highest relative consumption of blood products

Many perfusionists are also responsible for cellsavers, acute normovolemic hemodilution, and hopefully member of a Patient Blood Management (PBM) Committee in the center where they work

Therefore, we’re focusing on some of the many resources available online on PBM, next to the more traditional literature sources

There is a TON of information out there on PBM, with many societies and possibilities for networking, listening to podcasts, attending conferences and email alerts

In random order:

• Transfusion Evidence Library is an information resource…

• Transfusion News brings you the latest news in blood banking…

• AABB (Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies) is an international, not-for-profit association representing individuals and institutions involved… (they publish

• Transfusion

• IFPBM (International Foundation for Patient Blood Management) is a multi-faceted organization…

• SABM (Society for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management) is an international, evidence-based educational resource network of excellence…

• NATA (Network for the Advancement of Patient Blood Management, Haemostasis and Thrombosis - formerly known as Network for the Advancement of Transfusion Alternatives) is a global independent medical association…

• Then there’s this guy — BloodBankGuy

Don’t say you didn’t know… 🙂‍↔️ 🩸🩸🩸
