The AABB PBM app is a first-of-its-kind reference tool for anyone involved in patient blood management (PBM). The app conveniently combines three invaluable PBM resources into one easy-to-reference tool:

- The RBC Transfusion Data Card summarizes clinical practice guidelines for the transfusion of Red Blood Cells to adults and pediatric patients.

- Management of Acute Transfusion Reactions details the important steps to take when a transfusion reaction is suspected.

- The Circular of Information for the Use of Human Blood and Blood Components provides an extensive review of licensed and some unlicensed blood and blood components, their indications for use, special precautions, instructions for administration, and adverse effects of transfusion.

Patient blood management is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to optimizing the care of patients who might need transfusion. PBM encompasses all aspects of patient evaluation and clinical management surrounding the transfusion decision-making process, including the application of appropriate indications, as well as minimization of blood loss and optimization of patient red cell mass. PBM can reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions and reduce health-care costs, while ensuring that blood components are available for the patients who need them.

As a leading organization in the education of health-care professionals about patient blood management, AABB offers resources that address the various aspects of PBM, helping members achieve their goals of optimizing patient outcomes, preventing unnecessary blood transfusions and auditing physician compliance with established criteria for transfusion.
