2nd Pillar of Patient Blood Management

The Philippine College of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine continues to uphold the essence and value of Patient Blood Management.

This month we learn the 3 pillars of Patient Blood Management.

First pillar of Patient Blood Management is Optimization of Red Cell Mass.

Second pillar of Patient Blood Management is Minimizing bleeding and blood loss to preserve the patient's own blood.

Follow us as we tackle the remaining pillars of Patient Blood Management.

Remember, we must have Patient Blood Management always.

Dati, focus lang natin ang pagkakaroon ng blood supply. But Patient Blood Management (PBM) takes personalized care to the next level, especially through the eyes of the patient and their family.

For patients, PBM means one major thing: Better Outcomes. Mas mabilis na pag-galing. ๐Ÿงก It's not just blood management; it's personalized healthcare management.
