Traditional transfusion medicine education is normally static, with often untrained surgeons or anesthesiologists passing on advice to residents. One institution developed a series of simulations using "Betty B. Bleedn," a physiologically responsive dummy. One simulation portrays Betty having an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, while another shows Betty needing a massive transfusion. The session will show videotapes of some live training sessions, with residents learning transfusion medicine in action. This session will also highlight the advantages of using a computer physician order entry (CPOE) system for ordering transfusion components. A CPOE can help to reinforce adherence to requirements for transfusion consent and compliance with transfusion guidelines. The speakers will discuss the implementation of CPOEs in various hospitals. Finally, some emergency medical response systems have incorporated transfusion medicine into their mass casualty drills. This session will describe some of the education aspects, and detail how this education can be put into action.
