Patient blood management
Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a set of medical practices designed to optimise the care of patients who might need a blood transfusion. Patient blood management programs use an organized framework to improve blood health, thus increasing patient safety and quality of life, reducing costs, and improving clinical outcomes. Some strategies to accomplish this include ensuring that anemia is treated prior to a surgical operation, using surgical techniques that limit blood loss, and returning blood lost during surgery to the patient via intraoperative blood salvage.
Patient blood management represents an international initiative in best practice for patient centered care that is supported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Patient blood management is about enhancing a patient's own blood health by managing anemia, optimizing coagulation, and using blood conservation strategies. Examples of how to implement PBM are available from Australia, the UK, and the US.
The term "Patient Blood Management" was first used in 2005 by Professor James Isbister, an Australian hematologist, who believed that the focus of transfusion medicine should shift from the blood component to the patient.
During a session of the World Health Assembly in 2010, the resolution WHA63.12 was adopted, which included recommendations on the safety and availability of blood components. PBM initially consisted of pharmacological and non-pharmacological techniques, to be adopted before, during, and after surgery, to prevent the patient from arriving in the operating room in a condition of anemia.
Patient Blood Management is an approach that can be implemented in hospital settings for taking care of people who require blood transfusions. PBM includes techniques that may help ensure each person receiving a blood transfusion receives optimal treatment for their condition and also ensures that the blood supply (bank of donated blood) is maintained to ensure that all people who require blood components in the hospital have them available at the time that they would benefit from them.
Patient Blood Management can be beneficial in surgical settings and in non-surgical settings with the goal of reducing the risk of needing a blood transfusion and improving the outcome for those who require a blood transfusion.
Three pillars of patient blood management:
The cornerstone of patient blood management is a multidisciplinary approach, involving family physicians, nurses, anesthetists, surgeons, Transfusion Practitioners, hematologists, and hematology and blood transfusion laboratory staff. Part of PBM is avoiding unnecessary treatments and procedures, and some of the PBM recommendations from around the world have been incorporated in to the "Choosing Wisely" campaigns that exist in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US.
