Session Purpose:
The purpose of this online webinar session is to provide healthcare professionals with insights into transfusion safety by navigating new protocols and technologies. Participants will explore the latest advancements in blood transfusion practices, including emerging protocols and innovative technologies, to ensure optimal patient outcomes and minimize the risk of transfusion-related complications.
Objectives:
- Evaluate recent updates in transfusion guidelines and protocols, including indications for transfusion, patient blood management strategies, and appropriate use of blood products, to enhance safety and efficacy in clinical practice.
- Investigate novel technologies such as pathogen reduction systems, point-of-care testing devices, and electronic crossmatching platforms, and assess their potential to improve transfusion safety by mitigating risks of transfusion-transmitted infections and alloimmunization.
- Discuss strategies to enhance transfusion vigilance and minimize adverse events through rigorous pre-transfusion testing, real-time monitoring of transfusion reactions, and implementation of standardized transfusion protocols to ensure the safe administration of blood products.
