SCABB WEBINARS (SCABBinars)
What is a SCABBinar?
SCABBinar's are one hour webinars that take on cutting edge topics, as well as tried and true topics reinforcing grass roots information at every level. We offer FIVE per year and all are P.A.C.E. and Florida CE Broker approved.
One of the greatest benefits a SCABB membership offers is access to high quality educational programs. SCABBinar's are just one of the ways South Central delivers on that promise.

SCABBinar's are FREE to Members!
SCABB Individual, Physician and Student members receive ALL SCABBinars throughout the year at NO CHARGE.

Description:
People have traditionally thought that nonprofit healthcare organizations were unlikely to be targets of cyber-security attacks, but as such attacks increase, it is clear that any organization can be affected.

Presentation: An Update on Red Cell Pathogen Reduction
Objectives:
Description:
Red Blood Cell (RBC pathogen reduction with amustaline (S-303) /glutathione (GSH) is in late stage development, funded by a contract with the DHHS, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). Phase III clinical trials investigating chronic RBC transfusion in thalassemia patients (the SPARC trial) and acute transfusion in cardiovascular surgery (the ReCePI study) have been completed and a large Phase III safety trial in general transfusion patients (the RedeS study) is underway. This presentation will describe the promising results from these trials and the proposed pathway forward to regulatory approval. A robust system for pathogen reduction of RBCs will complement existing approved processes for platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate, allowing broad spectrum pathogen reduction as an additional safety measure for all transfused blood products.

Presentation: Overcoming the Challenge of Platelet Shortages
Objectives:
- Provide the background on our donor population.
- Review the strategies developed to overcome the platelet shortage.
- Discussed the production of cold stored platelets and pool platelets.
Description:
We have been experiencing a decline in our donor population over the last few years as well as an increase in the demand for products. I will present some data to show our stats for South Texas Blood and Tissue. To support the increased demand, strategies were developed to ensure the Health Care Providers and patients have the necessary blood products to manage their needs. We validated a couple of products: the cold stored platelets and the pool platelets to help with the increase demand.
