AABB has developed a new education series, Basics in Patient Blood Management. This eCast series will help hospitals get started with a Patient Blood Management (PBM) program or begin to operationalize basic elements that they have in place into a cohesive program. Leading pioneers in the field convened to explain the value of a PBM program and key elements, strategies, and tactics for a successful program.
The program is divided into two parts:
This program is made possible through the generous support of Haemonetics
Assessments
There are no assessments provided with this program. This is an educational eCast series where students can review the content as many times as they want during the access period.
Registration and access information is provided for both parts of this program offering:
Basics in Patient Blood Management 4-Part Series
