Building a patient blood management program in a large-volume tertiary hospital setting: Problems and solutions

Serdar Günaydın et al. Turk Gogus Kalp Damar Cerrahisi Derg. .

Abstract

Successful implementation of a patient blood management program necessitates the collaboration of a strong organization and a multidisciplinary approach. We organized a meeting with broad participation in our center to establish a consensus for implementation of a specific patient blood management program. International and domestic experiences were shared, the importance of coordination and execution of different pillars in patient blood management were discussed, and the problems about the blood transfusion system were also investigated with the proposal for solutions. The data obtained from this meeting are presented to be a guide for similar large-volume tertiary hospitals for integration of a patient blood management protocol.

Keywords: Anemia-iron deficiency; blood preservation; blood transfusion; hemorrhage.
