AABB Guidelines

The AABB Guidelines are a set of best practices established by the American Association of Blood Banks to ensure the safety, quality, and efficacy of blood and blood products. They provide standards for collecting, testing, processing, storing, and transfusing blood to prevent contamination and errors. These guidelines help healthcare providers and blood banks maintain high safety standards, reduce the risk of transfusion reactions, and ensure that patients receive reliable blood products. Overall, they serve as a comprehensive framework to support safe blood transfusion practices across healthcare settings.
