About this webinar

The aim of this webinar is to provide healthcare providers with information regarding how to apply established principles of patient blood management during the COVID–19 pandemic, including: blood supply and donor management; anaemia diagnosis and treatment; monitoring of Hb and transfusion; and coagulation and thrombosis.
