The Patient Blood Management (PBM) toolkit is now available

The toolkit provides advice for hospitals to support the implementation of PBM strategies in clinical practice. It comprises a checklist and information to underpin appropriate use, patient safety and blood conservation:

• Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia
• Patient information and consent
• Restrictive haemoglobin thresholds and single unit transfusions
• Pre-optimisation of anaemia
• Tranexamic acid in managing blood loss
• Intraoperative cell salvage

 Go to the toolkit available on the PBM Education page.
