Blood management policies

Blood management policies focus on using blood products efficiently and responsibly to ensure patient safety and conserve resources. They promote practices like assessing if a patient truly needs transfusions, using alternatives when possible, and minimizing blood loss during procedures. The goal is to reduce unnecessary transfusions, which can carry risks and deplete blood supplies, by following evidence-based guidelines. These policies also involve careful coordination among healthcare teams to monitor blood use, improve patient outcomes, and promote safe, judicious use of blood products.
