This year is an exciting time for AABB education
it brings a doubling downof commitment to expert educational resources for
our community. In addition to expanding an ever-richer portfolio of content,
this is also a year of investment in new technology platforms that will deliver
professional development tools to support all learning styles and schedules.
The expanded content in transfusion medicine, patient blood management and
cellular therapies provides the information needed by facilities to improve the
quality of care that they are delivering to patients and donors. In the cellular
therapy arena, standards for the laboratory setting have been expanded into
the clinical care setting. Those faced with regulatory challenges now have access
to a toolkit that provides customizable templates for regulatory submissions.
For those facilities implementing patient blood management programs, multi-
media learning modules will be available to provide the foundational knowledge
to implement your program or to take your existing program to the next level.
The already comprehensive library of print and electronic publications is being
further supplemented with forward-thinking transfusion medicine content such
as Antibody Identifcation: Art or Science? A Case Study Approach, as well as new
editions of invaluable references such as The Transfusion Committee: Putting
Patient Safety First.
In parallel with expanding our collection of relevant content, we are revamping
our delivery platforms to make it easier to access that content. An improved online
Marketplace will bring together all modes of learningfrom webinars to books
to digital toolkitsmaking it easier to nd resources that t your needs. A new,
robust learning portal will allow you to manage all of your career development
progress in one place.
Yet, amid all of these exciting changes, one thing holds constantthe
contribution of leaders in the eld who collaborate to develop these innovative
resources. Only through the deep partnership with our professional volunteer
experts are we able to bring this body of knowledge to the eld.
I hope you will take full advantage of what AABB has to oer. Arming yourself
with leading-edge knowledge is good for your professional growth, good for
your facility, and good for advancing the eld.

n Follow-up (response to nonconformances, lessons learned).
Romancing the Big Q:
Dancing with
the Quality Gorilla
Edited by Lisa M. Walters, PhD, MBA, MT(ASCP)SBB
Quality systems have long been
indispensable to the function of
health-care institutions. The value in an
institutions relationship with quality is
uncovered when it is allowed to evolve.
Committing to a culture of continual
improvement can be something like dancing with a gorilla who never
tires; it means developing the skills of adapting to changing demands and
environmentscyclically.
Building on material from Introducing the Big Q: A Practical Quality Primer
(AABB Press, 2004), Romancing the Big Q explains how to move an
organization toward performance excellence. Each chapter is half theory,
half storyrst laying out the quality concepts, and then illustrating them
in a practical case study.
Topics include:
n Strategic planning with matrices.
n Vision and goal setting.
n Solidifying leadership.
n Process management and plan deployment.
n Measurement and evaluation.
n Risk management.
Each purchase includes a free Digital Download of Introducing the Big Q:
A Practical Quality Primer for your reference.

Hematopoietic Stem
Cell Transplantation:
A Handbook for Clinicians
Edited by John R. Wingard, MD; Dennis A. Gastineau, MD;
Helen L. Leather, BPharm; Edward Snyder MD, FACP; and
Zbigniew M. Szczepiorkowski, MD, PhD, FCAP
Chapters in this easy-to-use guide reect the
combined expertise of practitioners from the
Dana-Farber, M.D. Anderson, Memorial Sloan-
Kettering, Fred Hutchinson and other notable cancer centers;
from the National Cancer Institute and NMDP; and from
numerous respected university programs and medical institutions.
The aim of this HSCT Handbook is to broadly cover the major topics of
indications for transplantation; donor and patient evaluation; conditioning
regimens; collection, processing and characterization of stem cell products;
management of immunosuppressive therapy; evaluation and management
of the myriad complications encountered; suggestions for supportive care;
performance of the most common procedures; and aspects of follow-up
care. The Handbooks emphasis is on providing key concepts that underlie the
topics and providing practical information to the reader.
(AABB, 2009, spiral bound, 729 pages, CD-ROM included, ISBN 9781563952975)
Each chapter is comprehensive, clinically focused,
expertly presented, and relevant. I was also
impressed by the Appendices. They provide a rapid,
convenient reference for practical management
issues that arise frequently, not only in the care of
transplantation patients but more broadly in the
care of immunocompromised hosts.

"With no one immediately responsible for
oversight of those transfusion steps that occur
outside the laboratory, it is little wonder that
serious lapses, misunderstandings, knowledge
gaps, and errors may occur. The principal role of
the hospital TSO is to work outside the laboratory
to improve patient safety during transfusion."

Developed for the Clinical Transfusion Medicine
Committee and the Transfusion Medicine Section
Coordinating Committee by Joanne Becker, MD,
and Beth Shaz, MD
With patient safety and optimal outcomes as
the goal, blood management and utilization
concepts reach across diverse areas to include all aspects of the transfusion
decision-making process.
This Guideline assists facilities in developing strategies that provide for the
appropriate use of blood and the use of alternatives that help to reduce
or avoid the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. A multidisciplinary
approach is advocated that includes the use of blood component guidelines,
pharmaceutical preparations to minimize blood loss, blood conservation
methods and blood utilization review practices.
Some highlights include:
n The transfusion review process, including thresholds and assessments.
n Nonsurgical as well as preoperative, intraoperative and
postoperative strategies.
n The blood utilization review process, including the development of
facility-specic guidelines and quality improvement.
n Auditing of blood utilization, including criteria for a wide range of

Guidelines for the Laboratory
Evaluation of Transfusion
Reactions
Committee by Robertson Davenport, MD
While infectious transfusion complications
are often the focus of patients, physicians,
blood transfusion professionals and regulatory
agencies, nonviral and immunologically based
complications are the most prevalent risks for a transfusion recipient. The
diagnosis and evaluation of any transfusion reaction is a matter of clinical
judgment by a physician trained in the adverse eects of transfusion.
Negative testing results should not be interpreted as denitely excluding a
transfusion reaction if there is a strong clinical suspicion that the patients
symptoms are related to blood transfusion. The laboratory evaluation
of suspected transfusion reactions is critical not only to the health and
well-being of the patient but also to the process of improvement through
corrective and preventive actions.

procedures in the continuum from collection
and selection of blood components to the
methods of administration. This publication
describes many of these fine points, including the importance of communication
between clinical staff, laboratory personnel and the neonates parents;
component processing techniques such as irradiation, filtration and aliquoting;
effects of component storage and preservation; and blood administration
concerns (eg, venous access, infusion pumps, blood warming).

Guidelines for Pneumatic
Tube Delivery Systems:
Validation and Use to Transport
Blood Components
Coordinating Committee
by Monique Mohammed, MS, MT(ASCP)SBB;
Roger Richard, MS, MT(AMT): and Lynne Uhl, MD
Many hospitals and transfusion services are
now using pneumatic tube delivery systems as a means of delivering blood
products faster and more eciently. To ensure product safety and the
maintenance of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is
to provide direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood
component distribution. For facilities currently using this technology, this
serves as a comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the
current validation. For institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this
document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality
assurance goals.

Guidelines for Donor
Hemoglobin Determination
Committee by Ritchard G. Cable, MD, and
Julie L. Houseworth, MD
Anemia in prospective blood donors may
indicate an underlying disease, may result in an
ineective blood product and may cause harm
to the recipient. Thus, the measurement of donor
hemoglobin as a means of determining donor eligibility is of paramount
importance. This Guideline identies several of the methods currently in use
for determining hemoglobin levels. The advantages, disadvantages, technical
aspects and quality assurance considerations of each method are described
so that collection personnel can choose a particular method that ensures
protection of the donor and a safe and eective product for the recipient.
