Transfusion guidelines
Transfusion guidelines are established protocols that help healthcare providers decide when a blood transfusion is necessary and how to safely administer it. They aim to ensure patient safety by optimizing blood use and minimizing risks. Guidelines consider factors such as hemoglobin levels, symptoms of anemia, and the patient's overall health. The aim is to transfuse only when the benefits outweigh the risks, ensuring that patients receive the right type and amount of blood in a timely manner, ultimately improving recovery and health outcomes.
