MAPBM
Interés
MAPBM es una herramienta para la gestión de los programas de PBM, reducción de la tasa transfusional, mejora de la seguridad y resultados en salud.
Herramienta de análisis para el hospital que permite evaluar la madurez de las prácticas transfusionales del Centro y facilita la gestión de las mejoras para evitar la transfusión innecesaria o evitable.
Permite al hospital realizar una evaluación continua y monitorizar el grado de implantación y extensión de su Programa PBM, resultados y benchmarking.
European Commission publishes guides on patient blood management
Interés
The Commission has today published two guides on Patient Blood Management (PBM). The guides, one addressed to authorities and the other addressed to hospitals, have been developed via a Public Health Programme service contract (nº 20136106).
Patient blood management (PBM) is a patient-focused, evidence-based and systematic approach to improve patient outcomes through the safe and rational use of blood and blood products and avoiding unnecessary transfusions. Essential elements of PBM include: the prevention of conditions that might otherwise result in the need for transfusion (through health promotion and screening for early detection of anemia), appropriate diagnosis and optimal treatment, including the use of alternatives to transfusion, good surgical and anaesthetic techniques, the use of alternatives to blood transfusion and blood conservation. The high prevalence of untreated pre-operative anaemia, the unmet need for improved bleeding management and a liberal transfusion practice, point towards huge potential to improve outcome through rationalisation of transfusion. The PBM approach has been endorsed and promoted by the World Health Organization and is widely accepted as current best practice.
