Patient Blood Management Guidelines

NHMRC recently approved this guideline developed by the National Blood Authority (NBA) for use by health care professionals in managing patients with critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion.
The NBA Patient Blood Management Guidelines Module 1 - Critical Bleeding/Massive Transfusion is the first of six patient blood management modules being developed to replace the NHMRC/Australasian Society of Blood Transfusion (ASBT) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Use of Blood Components (2001). Future modules under development by NBA will address peri-operative, medical, critical care, obstetric and paediatric patient blood management.
The guideline and accompanying documents can be accessed from the NBA and also from the NHMRC Clinical Practice Guidelines Portal .
