Linda Rockwood: Cultural and Ethical Change in Transfusion Medicine
Linda Rockwood, Laboratory and Blood Bank Consultant at Mass General Brigham, shared AABB‘s post on LinkedIn:
“Sharing this update as it is so important to keep up with developments, culturally and ethically based, in addition to clinical/medical/technological advances in order to best serve our transfusion medicine dependent patient population. ”
AABB shared a post on LinkedIn:
The Jehovah’s Witnesses will now permit individual members to decide whether to accept or donate allogeneic red blood cells, white cells, plasma and platelets, the governing body announced Friday.
The decision extends the conscience-based approach the organization already applied to blood fractions and builds on a March update that allowed members to make individual decisions about autologous transfusion, collection and storage.
The organization’s longstanding prohibition of whole-blood transfusion remains unchanged.
