DRAFT 12th edition of Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration

AABB's Perioperative Standards Committee is seeking feedback to inform the draft 12th edition of Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration in advance of its upcoming meeting to draft and finalize the proposed edition. The committee requests that individuals with comments submit them no later than Tuesday, Jan. 6.

Those without access to the final 11th edition of Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration, which serves as the basis for the 12th edition, should contact standards@aabb.org to request two-week trial access to the AABB Standards Portal.

Individuals submitting comments should identify each standard by number at the beginning of the comment. The committee also encourages the inclusion of alternative wording when appropriate, as well as any rationale or data that support strong agreement or disagreement with a draft standard.

A 60-day open comment period will occur following publication of the proposed 12th edition, which is scheduled for March. Submissions received by the Jan. 6 deadline will help inform the committee as it develops the next edition.

Interested individuals may submit feedback online.
