Transfusion and blood banking guidelines – The AVHTM has set out to create transfusion and blood banking guidelines. A group of AVHTM members led by Dr. Beth Davidow successfully completed and published a 3-part consensus statement on transfusion reactions in the Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care in 2021 coined TRACS (Transfusion Reaction Consensus Statement). Our next goal is to develop blood-banking standards that will provide a resource for those actively involved in blood donor programs and blood-banking.
