The Patient Blood Management is a Special Interest Group (PBM-SIG) organized within the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, created by leaders in pediatric blood management and transfusion safety.

2.    Collaboration. Fostering collaboration among members of the PBM team for discussion of clinical care, education, and research for the perioperative care of pediatric patients anticipated to require blood transfusion and management.

4.    Research. Encouraging and promoting research in the field of pediatric PBM.

5.    Database. Organizing and maintaining a multi-institutional database for pediatric perioperative PBM.
