History
Founded in 2001, the Society for the Advancement of Blood Management was started by a group of dedicated volunteers who saw a need for a new way of thinking. The SABM founders realized that blood management ought to be the standard of care, and that blood transfusion should be viewed as the alternative. SABM promotes education and training to enhance clinical practices in the field. This is done by creating a source of knowledge for all types of blood management strategies.
SABM has developed into a key educational resource for blood management. SABM is developing evidence based guidelines that aim to limit the patient’s exposure to allogenic blood. We are also working to create a platform for the conception of standard or "best practices" in blood management. All of this is done with the goal of improving patient outcomes through optimal blood management.
