The 25th 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

Serologic Problem-Solving: A Systematic Approach for Improved PracticeEdited by Sally V. Rudmann, PhD

Solving serologic problems and teaching others

how to solve these problems can present

a challenge to even the most experienced

never have had the opportunity to step back and

evaluate how they approach a problem and the

steps they take to resolve it. The fi rst chapter

reviews the problem-solving process, including

in what manner an individual approaches

any problem. In the remaining chapters, the

problem-solving model is applied to many types

of serologic problems and is emphasized through

case studies.

The Transfusion Committee: Putting Patient Safety FirstEdited by Sunita Saxena, MD, and Ira A. Shulman, MD

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 updated information

on the committee’s 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

accompanying CD-ROM for downloading and

customizing by individual facilities.

Topics:Justifi cation for a dedicated transfusion • committee.

Committee organization and function.• The impact of accrediting organizations.• Relationships with blood centers.• Managing confl icts of interest within the • committee.

Quality tools for the transfusion committee.• Blood management and the transfusion • committee.

Implementing and managing a successful • committee.

Guidelines for the Management of Transfusion-RelatedAcute Lung InjuryDeveloped for the Scientifi c 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-

Guidelines for the Laboratory Evaluation of Transfusion ReactionsDeveloped for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Robertson Davenport, MD

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 eff ects of transfusion. Negative testing

results should not be interpreted as defi nitely excluding a transfusion reaction

if there is a strong clinical suspicion that the patient’s 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.

Strategies for Centralized Blood ServicesEdited by Marcus B. Simpson, MD

The value of centralized transfusion

services has been demonstrated by their

increased effi ciency, improved resource

management, cost reduction and

enhanced quality. This volume examines

how such effi ciency is achieved with up-

to-date and in-depth discussions of both

US and non-US networks: Puget Sound

Blood Center in Seattle, the Institute for

Transfusion Medicine in Pittsburgh, Florida Blood Services at Tampa Bay, and

the Hemominas Foundation in Brazil. Because areas with diff erent needs

require diff erent designs, the variation among these systems is instructive.

The critical issues for success in centralized networks are discussed in the

context of these systems — for example, geography, logistics, competitive

viability and fi nancial concerns. Separate chapters focus on informatics,

legal, regulatory and quality considerations, as well as the changing value

propositions for centralized networks today. The book serves as the fi eld’s

primary resource on this distinctive delivery model.

Guidelines for Pneumatic Tube Delivery Systems: Validation and Use to Transport Blood ComponentsDeveloped 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 effi ciently. 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.

Screening Blood Donors: Science, Reason, and the Donor History QuestionnaireEdited by Anne Eder, MD, PhD, and Celso Bianco, MD

Every day, blood center staff evaluate

donor answers to screening questions

and make decisions about deferrals

— decisions for which guidance

is sometimes lacking. Regulatory

recommendations and the donor history

questionnaire cover the broad issues, but what about medical conditions

that are not addressed? For those that are addressed, what about “special

cases”? What scientifi c evidence can be referenced in these situations? What

background is necessary to understand the rationale behind the screening

questions as blood centers manage new issues that arise? This book is an

indispensable guide to coping with such questions, off ering solid support for

medical decisions that protect the safety of both blood donors and recipients.

Topics:

Blood donors with cardiovascular disease.• Blood donors with impaired hemostasis.• Blood donors with a history of cancer.• Medications and vaccinations.• Infectious disease risks.• Postdonation information.• Donor reentry.•

Guidelines for Donor Hemoglobin DeterminationDeveloped for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Ritchard G. Cable, MD, and Julie L. Houseworth, MD

Anemia in prospective blood donors may indicate an underlying disease, may

result in an ineff ective blood product, and may cause harm to the recipient.

Thus, the measurement of donor hemoglobin as a means of determining

donor eligibility is of paramount importance. This Guideline identifi es

several of the methods currently in use for determining hemoglobin levels.

The advantages, disadvantages, technical aspects and quality assurance

considerations of each method are described, so that collection personnel can

choose a particular method that ensures protection of the donor and a safe

and eff ective product for the recipient.
