Appropriate blood product use is an ongoing challenge for healthcare providers and institutions. An emerging body of literature suggests that allogeneic transfusion is associated with short-term and long-term adverse consequences that challenge the benefits of conventional transfusion practices.
In addition, increases in the number of surgical procedures that can result in significant blood loss have created an escalating demand for blood and blood products. Blood Management programs are an increasingly important part of any institution’s effort to improve transfusion safety and ensure the availability of blood products for those in need.
This CME activity invites physicians from different specialties for an interdisciplinary dialogue to explore avenues for reducing allogeneic transfusion and optimizing the care of anemic patients.
Join our well renowned experts as we discuss various aspects of blood management in the medical, pediatric, oncology, and perioperative setting. This program is designed to balance scientific information with practical clinical considerations.
This educational activity is designed for medical specialists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, medical directors, perfusionists, hospitalists, hematologists, pediatricians, transfusion medicine specialists, medical and surgical residents, quality managers, nurses, and blood management directors.
As a result of attending this symposium, the attendee will be able to:
- Optimize blood transfusions in the hospitalized patient through appropriate use of guidelines and algorithms;
- Describe the adverse consequences of allogeneic transfusions and their effect on patient outcomes;
- Explain the most recent evidence-based use of blood component therapy in hospitalized perioperative patients;
- Discuss the most appropriate techniques for managing anemia without blood transfusions;
- Create a comprehensive blood management program for reducing the use of blood products in hospital practice.
