About this Episode
Rasleen Saluja M.D.and R. Bruce Wellman MD help us to understand the extent of the current national blood shortage and why it’s happening now. They discuss the impact a shortage has on our ability to accept incoming traumas and accidents, schedule surgeries, treat obstetric hemorrhage, support oncology patients and transfuse Rh negative trauma patients.
Listen in to learn what Carle providers, especially providers that order blood, need to know about how they can help prevent worsening of the situation including best practices for ordering blood and what transfusion thresholds and triggers to use.
We all need to work together across the healthcare system to combat the current blood shortage and to help return our local blood supply to safe levels.
