Patient Blood Management (PBM) is the timely application of
evidence-based medical and surgical concepts designed to maintain
hemoglobin concentration, optimize hemostasis and minimize
blood loss in an effort to improve patient outcome.

Management Of Anemia In Hospitalized Patients
Clinical leaders of the blood management program have
knowledge and experience in
Recognition, diagnosis, and management of anemia
Policy requiring “anemia” be documented as part of the
early clinical assessment of all patients
Protocols facilitate appropriate;
Diagnosis
Evaluation
Management of anemia
Management strategies help minimize the likelihood of
transfusion
Management Of Anemia In Hospitalized Patients
Guidelines for the use of;
Intravenous iron
Erythropoietic stimulating agents (ESA’s)
Hospital transfusion guidelines recommend
Against transfusion in
Asymptomatic
Non-bleeding patients when the hemoglobin level is greater than
or equal to 6.0 -8.0 gm/dl.
Clinical strategies to optimize hemodynamics and
oxygenation are followed before red cell transfusion
is considered
Management Of Anemia In Hospitalized Patients
Transfusion of blood and/or components is
never used for;
Volume
repletion
Treating anemias that can be treated with
specific medications
When red cell transfusion is clinically
indicated in the non-bleeding patient
A
single unit of red cells is prescribed at a time
Followed by clinical reassessment of the patient
FINANCIALS
Definitions of price graphic:
“DIRECT COST OF PRODUCT”:
• includes price PRMCE pays to Puget Sound Blood Center
• portion of the type of Cross
• portion of Leukoreduction fees parallel to overall % of RBC’s affected
•This does not reflect
• time on the staff, documentation, storage or transportation.
(**see citation below) Calculate the direct cost of the product to a center by
multiplying a factor of 5 = real cost to a center for transfusing a unit of blood.
Thus a unit of blood this year cost us $1915.00 overall cost and a direct
cost of $383.00 per unit. Blood product costs go up annually.
**Shander A, Hofmann A, Ozawa S, Theusinger OM, Gombotz H, Spahn DR. Activity-based costs of
blood transfusions in surgical patients at four hospitals. Transfusion. 2010 Apr;50(4):753-65. Epub
2009 Dec 9
“UNITS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN AT THE 2005 RATE”:
We have reduced our transfusion rate by 45% in 6 years. We saved the
community 17,301 units of blood (if we had continued transfusing at the
2005 rate).
DEFINITIONS CONTINUED:
“SAVING INCURRED THAT YEAR”:
Overall savings for 6 years reduction is 4.3 million dollars.
“PATIENTS”:
These are all encounters (inpatient and outpatient) in 2010. I
have been assured that patient census, and healthcare facility
use, has reduced during 2010 throughout the region.
“UNIT PER PATIENT”:
Because the delegation and decision in what amount to
transfuse varies so drastically, and we geographically
transfuse 20% of our RBC’s on an outpatient basis; the
allocation of portions of units of blood is the only way to
show the slow reduction of overall transfusion rate. Therefore
this is the calculated portion of a unit of blood that is assigned
to each patient contact for PEMC patients
