Blood Bank KPIs: How to Select, Develop, and Analyze Them

Faisal Saud Alsaqri

The 9th edition of Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration (Perioperative Standards) contains requirements that address perioperative collection and preparation of red cell and non-red-cell components. Its goal is to maintain and enhance the quality and safety of perioperative autologous blood collection and administration and to provide a basis for the AABB Accreditation Program. It reflects the concerns and priorities of several different aspects of the discipline, including the input of recognized experts in the field and the best interests of their patients. It was developed in the context of the global drive for quality in health care and internationally recognized principles of quality management. Significant changes to the 9th edition: New Standard 1.4 requires the perioperative program have policies, processes, and procedures in place to ensure continuity of operations is maintained in the case of potential events that could put operations at risk. New Standard 7.3.1.1 requires that perioperative programs ensure that in the cases of adverse events, the first step taken is to discontinue the administration of blood components. New Standard 8.3.1 requires that perioperative programs ensure that quality indicator data gathered are shared with the individuals who have most responsibility for activities surrounding this information.

BLOOD TRANSFUSION THERAPY: A PHYSICIAN’S HANDBOOK, 13TH EDITION

Edited by Melissa Cushing, MD

Jessica Poisson, MD, and Nick Bandarenko, MD

Pediatric Transfusion: A Handbook, 5th edition is a concise yet comprehensive reference book for all practitioners who transfuse neonatal and pediatric populations. This book is invaluable for physicians treating patients in the hospital or those answering questions while on call in the blood bank. Written in response to questions from a variety of professionals in the field, this unique book presents, in one easy-to-use handbook, information that typically would require multiple volumes of text. Charts and tables outline information concerning volumes of blood components and doses of medication for neonatal and pediatric patients. Contributors with a wealth of practical experience share their knowledge in a resource that fits conveniently in your lab coat pocket. This edition includes the latest updates addressing patients with special transfusion needs, including neonates, patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiovascular surgery patients, trauma patients, sickle cell disease patients, and other pediatric patients who require chronic transfusion support. In addition, the latest updates on pathogen inactivation and the use of new blood products in children are discussed. Recent years have seen tremendous strides in the use of recombinant and nonrecombinant products. For pediatric patients with specific coagulation deficiencies, such as hemophilia A and B, the use of extended half-life products, as well as products (non-factor-derived) that mimic the actions of coagulation factors, are now available for use. With these developments in mind, this edition has an extensively updated coagulation section, so the reader can become familiar with “new biologics” as preferred alternatives to traditionally used blood products. In addition, “ABC-PICU,” which examined the age of red cells on outcomes in critically ill children, is discussed in this edition. The latest information on the use of pathogen-inactivated blood products is also included.

PEDIATRIC TRANSFUSION: A HANDBOOK, 5TH EDITION

Editors: Edward C.C. Wong, MD, and Susan D. Roseff, MD

This volume has been significantly reorganized and updated to focus specifically on therapeutic apheresis. Content addressing donor apheresis and cellular therapy are addressed in separate volumes. The first half of the book covers the history of therapeutic apheresis, current instrumentation, basic principles, clinical consultation, and patient management. The second half of the book covers disease-specific applications of therapeutic apheresis in hematologic, neurologic, renal, rheumatologic, and endocrine disorders; transplantation; and vascular and cardiac disorders. New content includes: Most recent evidence-based guidelines for therapeutic apheresis Tandem procedures (plasma exchange performed with ECMO, dialysis, or CVVH) Updated and expanded coverage of many diseases including: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis Paraproteinemic demyelinating neuropathies; chronic acquired demyelinating polyneuropathies Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis Addition of new diseases not included in the previous edition: Antibody-mediated encephalitis Steroid-responsive encephalopathy associated with autoimmune thyroiditis Vasculitis Thyroid storm Information regarding pathogenesis, therapy, and the role of therapeutic apheresis is provide for all category I and II indications for therapeutic apheresis as listed in the special issue of the Journal of Clinical Apheresis published in 2019. Suggested readings have been updated to include recently published literature in this field.
