Article Synopsis
- In 1997, electronic prescription for Labile Blood Products (LBP) was recommended to enhance transfusion safety, leading to the implementation of electronic transfusion records at Marseille Public Hospitals (APHM).
- The transition faced challenges like excessive product qualification choices, resistance from older doctors, and a disconnection of systems between APHM and the French Blood Institute (EFS PACA-Corsica).
- Ultimately, the partnership improved safety and traceability in healthcare while simplifying processes for the EFS, despite initial difficulties with the new software.
Article Synopsis
- The French National Authority for Health (HAS) has released new guidelines for patient blood management (PBM) during surgeries, focusing on three key areas: optimizing red blood cell count, minimizing blood loss, and managing anemia tolerance.
- Preoperative recommendations include identifying anemia and iron deficiency early, especially for surgeries with a higher risk of bleeding.
- Intraoperative strategies involve using tranexamic acid and certain surgical techniques to control bleeding, while postoperative guidance emphasizes reducing blood sampling and monitoring for anemia to determine if treatments like intravenous iron are needed.
Background: Traumatic hemorrhage guidelines include point-of-care viscoelastic tests as a standard of care. Quantra (Hemosonics) is a device based on sonic estimation of elasticity via resonance (SEER) sonorheometry to assess whole blood clot formation.
Objectives: Our study aimed to assess the ability of an early SEER evaluation to detect blood coagulation test abnormalities in trauma patients.
Objectives: Low-viscosity bone cement impregnated with gentamicin is frequently used to fix femoral prostheses. Three cardiac arrests occured successively during cementoplasty oh hip replacements, leading to the death of two patients. The objective of this study is to describe the actions undertaken to establish a potential link between the use of the bone cement and the occurrence of these serious adverse events (SAE).
