All apheresis conferences have proven over the years to be very informative .Opens the door for learning new and current best practices used by other facilities preforming apheresis procedures.

Any employee performing procedures should attend an apheresis conference within their career.

Knowledge is PowerAttendanceEducationalNetworking

Define the spectrum of therapeutic apheresis modalities and equipment.Review current clinical indications for therapeutic plasmapheresis, photopheresis and other cytapheresis procedures, per ASFA guidelines.Discuss options for vascular access, anticoagulation, and prescription for the various apheresis techniques, and their associated complications. Describe the differences between centrifugal and membrane plasma separation and the use of selective secondary plasma processing.Identify the use of apheresis in pediatrics, stem cell transplantation, and other special patient populations.Discuss apheresis reimbursement, quality assurance and program management. Recognize recent developments and the future of apheresis medicine.Learning Objectives
