Welcome to the Transfusion Ontario Website!

The site was developed for the use of healthcare professionals who order, administer and manage blood transfusion in Ontario hospitals. It is also intended to provide information on blood products and blood components to patients and their families.

On this site you can find:

• A comprehensive listing of guidelines relating to blood components and blood products
• Information on the Provincial Blood Utilization Strategy
• Information on the Respiratory Syncytial Virus Prophylaxis for High-Risk Infants Program for the 2009/2010 RSV season (Resource Centre)
• Contact information
• Available resources such as Physician, Nursing and Patient information about transfusion (Resource Centre)
• SWIM manual – A comprehensive laboratory procedural guide for transfusion services
• An online patient course to learn more about blood and blood transfusion
• Ontario Contingency Planning for managing blood shortages
   

This website is supported by the Ontario Blood Programs Coordinating Office
(BPCO) – a section of the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. The redesign of this site has been facilitated by the Ontario Regional Blood Coordinating Network (ORBCoN).
