2. WHO Surgical Safety Checklist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Surgical_Safety_Checklist

   The World Health Organization (WHO) published the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in 2008 in order to increase the safety of patients undergoing surgery. [1] The checklist serves to remind the surgical team of important items to be performed before and after the surgical procedure in order to reduce adverse events such as surgical site infections or retained instruments. [1]

3. Blood transfusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_transfusion

   A relationship between intra-operative blood transfusion and cancer recurrence has been observed in colorectal cancer. [64] In lung cancer intra-operative blood transfusion has been associated with earlier recurrence of cancer, worse survival rates and poorer outcomes after lung resection.

4. Patient safety - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_safety

   An example is blood transfusion; in recent years, to reduce the risk of transmissible infection in the blood supply, donors with only a small probability of infection have been excluded. The result has been a critical shortage of blood for other lifesaving purposes, with a broad impact on patient care. [66]

5. Blood compatibility testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_compatibility_testing

   Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.

6. Patient blood management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_blood_management

   Patient Blood Management is an approach that can be implemented in hospital settings for taking care of people who require blood transfusions. [4] PBM includes techniques that may help ensure each person receiving a blood transfusion receives optimal treatment for their condition and also ensures that the blood supply (bank of donated blood) is maintained to ensure that all people who require ...

7. Plateletpheresis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateletpheresis

   If all of the incidentally collected white blood cells are transfused with the platelets, substantial rejection problems can occur. Therefore, it is standard practice to filter out white blood cells before transfusion by the process of leukoreduction. Early platelet transfusions used a filter to remove white blood cells at the time of transfusion.

8. Cross-matching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-matching

   Cross-matching or crossmatching is a test performed before a blood transfusion as part of blood compatibility testing. Normally, this involves adding the recipient's blood plasma to a sample of the donor's red blood cells. If the blood is incompatible, the antibodies in the recipient's plasma will bind to antigens on the donor

9. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_Laboratory...

   Ideally, researchers should obtain informed consent from individuals, and aim for transparency in their intended use for the human tissue while protecting the privacy of the donor. [ 29 ] CAP and other laboratory accreditation organizations (AO) have additional requirements and protocols for repurposing biospecimens that would otherwise be ...
