Description

An 80 year old male with acute leukemia is getting a platelet transfusion, he begins to feel short of breath. The nurse overseeing the transfusion asks the hematology fellow, "What do you want me to do next, doctor?" The fellow feels his pulse quicken, and he prepares to give his best answer... Situations like this are real and occur every single day in hospitals around the world. Many studies have shown a significant lack of basic transfusion medicine training for clinical physicians, and a not-too-surprising accompanying knowledge gap, even for those in specialties like hematology.  Dr. Rich Haspel and colleagues from the BEST Collaborative set out to define the problem AND come up with solutions! He shares both in this episode.
