Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services, 27th edition
Effective Date: May 1, 2011
New!
The 27th edition of Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services details the latest standards of practice in blood banking and transfusion medicine. As in the past, a quality management system is the framework of the standards, with each of the 10 chapter headings representing one of the 10 Quality System Essentials. Significant changes: A new (previously interim) standard requires the use of FDA-approved or FDA-deemed-equivalent bacteria detection methods. new requirements ensure that users follow manufacturers instructions with certain apheresis equipment when said instructions are more stringent than standards. Standards for the preparation and issue of tissues and derivatives have been separated from those for blood and components, for clarity. Requirements for new product Cryoprecipitated AHF after thawing have been added to Reference Standard 5.1.8A, Requirements for Storage, Transport and Expiration. The phrase transfusion transmitted has been replaced with the more inclusive term transmissible for clarity.

Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration, 4th edition and Guidance CD
Effective Date: November 1, 2009
The first edition of Standards for Molecular Testing for Red Cell, Platelet, and Neutrophil Antigens (MT Standards) contains requirements for facilities using molecular methods to predict ABO, Rh, and other blood group antigens on red cells, platelets and neutrophils, as well as quality system requirements, operational standards and a detailed list of inventory resources necessary for the identification of targeted nucleotides that encode red cell, platelet and granulocyte antigens. Organized according to the Quality System Essentials quality template, the MT Standards addresses operational aspects such as test methods, including DnA, restriction fragment length polymorphism testing, and sequence determination or single nucleotide polymorphism (SnP) analysis.
The fourth edition of Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration contains requirements that address perioperative collection and preparation of red cell and non-red-cell components. The fourth edition includes a table of perioperative component descriptions that promotes standardization of terminology. The Perioperative Standards also contains requirements addressing the use of new or novel methods and defines expiration times for a number of different perioperative products.
Guidance for Standards for Molecular Testing for Red Cell, Platelet, and Neutrophil Antigens, 1st edition
This guidance is intended to assist in the understanding and practical application of the 1st edition of the Standards for Molecular Testing for Red Cell, Platelet, and Neutrophil Antigens (MT Standards). Primarily, it contains guidance on the quality concepts that provide the framework for the MT Standards. It is also intended to serve as helpful advice or to provide examples of how to implement a specific standard, focusing on those issues that may be least familiar to members of the molecular testing community. In addition to the Quality System Essentials that organize the standards, DnA resources and targeted nucleotides for neutrophil antigens are addressed.
The various fields represented by these six different Standards are symbolic of AABBs continued effort to adapt to changing clinical and laboratory environments and to address the expanding needs of its membership. In 1957, AABB published the first edition of Standards for Blood Banks and Transfusion Services. The Standards were instituted in 1958, and AABBs Accreditation Program came into existence. More than 50 years and 25 editions later, AABB continues to be a leader in standard setting and accreditation. AABBs Standards and Accreditation Programs have evolved over time but are still supported by the work of volunteers and continue to strive for improvement in the quality and safety of blood collection, processing, storage and transfusion activities, as well as in the areas of cellular therapy, perioperative activities, molecular testing, immunohematology and relationship testing.

Decision Making in Transfusion Medicine
New!
By Eleftherios C. Vamvakas, MD, PhD, MPH
This timely book examines the policy and clinical decisions being made today in the name of blood safety, often resulting in radical changes in transfusion medicine practice. Although decision making in transfusion medicine is based on a wider range of inputs than solely the best research evidence, the orientation of this book remains evidence-based. In this capacity, the book is intended to serve one of the recurring principles enunciated by the FDAthat decision making must be transparent. The book discusses both the evidence supporting and the hotly debated policy alternatives proposed for avoiding the risks of allogeneic blood transfusion.
Guidelines for Patient Blood Management and Blood Utilization

Developed for the Clinical Transfusion Medicine Committee and the Transfusion Medicine Section Coordinating Committee by Joanne Becker, MD, and Beth Shaz, MD
With patient safety and optimal outcomes as the goal, blood management and utilization concepts reach across diverse areas of transfusion medicine, from physician education and auditing to surgical techniques and topical hemostatics, to include all aspects of the transfusion decision-making process. Representing a major revision of the Guidelines for Blood utilization Review (AABB, 2001), this Guideline assists facilities in developing strategies that provide for the appropriate use of blood and the use of alternatives that help to reduce or avoid the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated that includes the use of blood component guidelines, pharmaceutical preparations to minimize blood loss, blood conservation methods and blood utilization review practices. Some highlights include: The transfusion review process, including thresholds and assessments. nonsurgical as well as preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative strategies. The blood utilization review process, including the development of facility-specific guidelines and quality improvement. Auditing of blood utilization, including criteria for a wide range of components and situations.
Topics: The contrast between precautionary principle and evidence-based medicine. Causes of, and strategies to reduce, transfusion-related mortality. Emerging transmissible infections. Pathogen reduction. MSM donor deferrals. Patient blood management. Meta-analysis and equipoise in transfusion medicine. The book includes a bonus CD-ROM containing three fundamental chapters from Evidence-Based Practice of Transfusion Medicine, which together provide guidance for independently assessing the quality of published studies such as those cited in the books chapters.

Options for Better Patient Care

Published jointly by aabb and the Society for the advancement of blood management (Sabm), Blood Management: Options for Better Patient Care is an in-depth exploration of strategies for appropriately using or avoiding transfusion therapy. offering both a broad theoretical foundation for blood management concepts and practical information on implementing the techniques, this book emphasizes the value of combining multiple strategies to achieve the best patient outcomes. the source material this text shares with Perioperative Blood Management: A Physicians Handbook (also published by aabb and Sabm) is matched by an equal amount of additional material, including quality assurance, business plan development (including a sample plan) and pediatric surgery, to name a few. this book will prove to be an essential and accessible reference for the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, transfusion specialists, clinicians and nurses. Topics: Program development, economics and quality systems. transfusion decision making. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative techniques. Pretransfusion testing and point-of-care testing. Preoperative optimization, blood sequestration and ancillary techniques. topical hemostatics and fibrin sealants. Special settings, such as cancer and liver, obstetric, pediatric and cardiac surgery.
(AABB Press/SABM, 2008, soft cover, 461 pages, ISBN 978-1-56395-253-1)
although the establishment of hospital committees to review blood usage is not a new concept, it has become increasingly important for transfusion committees to assume a far greater role in blood management. evolving regulations for blood utilization monitoring and an increased emphasis on patient safety make in-house transfusion committees essential. this publication provides current information on the committees composition, function and implementation and will be useful both for facilities with established transfusion committees and for those seeking to create one. Several helpful forms are included on the Cd-Rom for downloading and customizing. Topics: Justification for a dedicated transfusion committee. Committee organization and function. the impact of accrediting organizations. Relationships with blood centers. managing conflicts of interest within the committee. Quality tools for the transfusion committee. blood management and the transfusion committee. implementing and managing a successful committee.

PATIEnT BLOOD MAnAGEMEnT (CONTINuED)

Guidelines for Blood Recovery and Reinfusion in Surgery and Trauma
Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Jonathan Waters, MD; Robert M. Dyga, RN, CCP; and Mark H. Yazer, MD, FRCP(C)
Quality Manual Preparation Workbook for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration
By Lucia Berte, MA, MT(ASCP)SBB, DLM, CQA(ASQ)CMQ/OE
This Guideline has been updated to reflect the newest developments in patient care during the perioperative period. Its pages cover general concepts of 1) advantages and disadvantages of perioperative transfusion, 2) the indications and contraindications for intraoperative and postoperative recovery and reinfusion, 3) the possible complications, and 4) administrative aspects that are often overlooked. Yet, it also digs into more detailfor example, exploring washing vs nonwashing of reinfused bood and the use of partially filled bowls.

The guidance from this manual and CD-ROM can help you to meet the requirements of the Standards for Perioperative Autologous Blood Collection and Administration and prepare for a successful accreditation assessment. For a perioperative transfusion program to have a real quality management system, the staff must learn how to turn policy statements of intention into documented actions. This workbook illustrates how this is accomplished, supporting you to create and format the policies, processes and procedures of a quality system in accordance with the QSEs defined in the Perioperative Standards. The helpful templates included on the CD-ROM not only serve as a time saver but also support customization by each facility. Topics: FAQs about a quality manual. Guidance for documenting your management and technical processes or procedures. Templates for policies of each of the perioperative QSEs. Processes that support the perioperative QSEs. Examples of perioperative work processes.

Complications
TRALI:
Mechanisms, Management, and Prevention
Edited by Steven H. Kleinman, MD, and Mark A. Popovsky, MD
Pathogen Inactivation:
The Penultimate Paradigm Shift

Edited by James P. AuBuchon, MD, and Christopher V. Prowse, MA, DPhil, FRCPath
AABB brings you the first comprehensive reference on transfusion-related lung injury (TRALI), collecting all the latest research in one timely volume. This accessible tool provides both an overview and a detailed picture of the relevant clinical, laboratory, pathophysiologic and donor-related issues posed by TRALI. Intended to provide transfusion medicine professionals, transfusing clinicians and other staff with an up-to-date reference guide, each chapter has been written by a recognized authority in the field, summarizing existing knowledge as well as highlighting areas of ongoing investigation. Topics: Differential diagnosis, incidence, pathophysiology and treatment. Concerns in the ICu. Donor management and laboratory evaluation. HLA and granulocyte antibody testing. Experience in the uK. Risk reduction.
In this imperfect world, pathogen inactivation has been sought as a way to achieve a zero-risk blood supply. Although no group of techniques can be relied upon as a true panacea, pathogen inactivation is a bold leap in a positive direction. With the assumption of remarkably low risk, albeit at a higher cost, these techniques hold promise for addressing not only the known safety concerns, including bacterial contamination, but also the next new virus for which we are unprepared. This comprehensive and timely volume presents the basic concepts, reviews the research performed to date and provides practical implementation advice from an international panel of early adopters. Topics addressed include: The rationale for pathogen inactivation. The challenges posed by some targets of inactivation. Assessing the toxic effects. Methods and considerations for red cells, platelets and plasma. Practical experience from several European sites. Regulations and implementation from both north American and European perspectives. This text will be of interest to those who are already using pathogen inactivation techniques (to compare and refine their operations), practitioners who are considering pathogen inactivation for their facilities in the near future (to identify aspects for consideration), and those who just want to be more knowledgeable about it (to be ready when asked to step up).
Guidelines for the Management of Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury

Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Mark A. Popovsky, MD
This Guideline addresses the clinical and laboratory features of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), as well as its management. TRALI is a life-threatening complication of transfusion that is clinically indistinguishable from the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but which has a more favorable prognosis. nevertheless, in the developed nations, it is the second or third most common cause of death from transfusion.

With the societal expectation of a zero risk product, the high cost society has been willing to pay for meager improvements in risk, and increasing concerns about emerging infectious agents, pathogen inactivation may not be as far off as we think.

Pediatric Transfusion Data Card

Edited by Edward Wong, MD, and Susan D. Roseff, MD
Guidelines for the Laboratory Evaluation of Transfusion Reactions

Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Robertson Davenport, MD
This Data Card is a handy reference that folds down to a 4 6 size and can easily fit in your lab or suit coat pocket. Laminated for durability, the card features information used for small-volume transfusions, formulas and calculations to determine volume of blood, general infectious risks of transfusion and special considerations in pediatric patients.
(AABB, 2009, ISBN 978-1-56395-303-3)
While infectious transfusion complications are often the focus of patients, physicians, blood transfusion professionals and regulatory agencies, nonviral and immunologically based complications are the most prevalent risks for a transfusion recipient. The diagnosis and evaluation of any transfusion reaction is a matter of clinical judgment by a physician trained in the adverse effects of transfusion. negative testing results should not be interpreted as definitely excluding a transfusion reaction if there is a strong clinical suspicion that the patients symptoms are related to blood transfusion. The laboratory evaluation of suspected transfusion reactions is critical not only to the health and well-being of the patient but also to the process of improvement through corrective and preventive actions.

Guidelines for Pneumatic Tube Delivery Systems: Disaster Operations Handbook:
Coordinating the Nations Blood Supply During Disasters and Biological Events
Validation and Use to Transport Blood Components
Developed for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Monique Mohammed, MS, MT(ASCP)SBB; Roger Richard, MS, MT(AMT): and Lynne uhl, MD
Many hospitals and transfusion services are now using pneumatic tube delivery systems as a means of delivering blood products faster and more efficiently. To ensure product safety and the maintenance of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is to provide direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood component distribution. For facilities currently using this technology, this serves as a comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the current validation. For institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality assurance goals.
Prepared and updated by members of the AABB Interorganizational Task Force on Domestic Disasters and Acts of Terrorism, this handbook assists community blood centers, hospital blood banks and transfusion services in preparing for and responding to domestic disasters and national acts of terrorism that affect the blood supply. The handbook contains two major areas of focus: Preparation strategies to implement before an event. Activation procedures once an event has occurred. Included as an addition to the handbook is the Disaster Operations Handbook Hospital Supplement prepared especially for transfusion services and for hospitals that do not collect allogeneic blood. The supplement will help facilities prepare for their role in providing blood for transfusion in the event of a disaster. Instructions for working with local blood centers to assess the effects of a disaster on the local blood supply are also provided.
