About Wa_patient_blood_management	English (USA)
Patient blood management (PBM) is a standard of care in medicine and surgery which seeks to maximise the use of a patient’s own blood and avoid unnecessary blood transfusions during surgery. Research from around the world shows that patients recover sooner, heal faster and have less complications when they rely upon their own blood supply during surgery, rather than ‘foreign’ blood. By planning ahead, PBM helps to reduce your blood being wasted during surgery or medical treatments which have a known risk of blood loss. Western Australia has a long history and taken a substantial lead in patient blood management (PBM). The WA PBM Group steering committee was has identified 5 theme for ongoing PBM governance: Advocacy, Data & Research, Education & Training, Health Service & Benchmarking, and Primary Care.
