#08: Safety measures for blood products for Sars-CoV-2
Duration: 20 minutes
Feb 17, 2021
- With more than 100 million COVID-19 cases worldwide, what’s the impact on our blood supply?
- What’s the risk of transfusion-transmitted infection? Is COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP) safe?
- Which treatments be applied to blood products in order to ensure safety for the patient?
Let Dr. Ray Goodrich answer these hard questions. He’s a leading expert in infectious disease and transfusion medicine, as well as the inventor of a world-leading pathogen reduction technology. He’ll provide the background, evidence and answers we need as the virus continues to spread and use of CCP increases around the world.
