Description
Although not a new topic in blood banking, autologous blood collection and usage can be challenging. This audioconference will present the advantages and disadvantages of autologous blood in comparison to banked blood. The five drivers for patient blood management- inventory, costs, risks, outcome, and efficacy- will be reviewed. How to develop and implement an autologous blood program will be discussed. Ways to encourage participation by both clinicians and administrators will be described, as will expected economic outcomes. By the conclusion of this audioconference, participants should have a framework to use for the establishment of an autologous blood program.
