Developed by the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council (MASAC) of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF), these comprehensive guidelines offer essential recommendations for triage, assessment, and diagnostics. They emphasize a proactive and preventative approach to managing bleeding disorders, highlighting the importance of a “treat first” strategy to avoid serious or life-threatening complications.

The guidelines provide clear indications for initiating factor replacement therapy, along with treatment recommendations tailored to different scenarios, including inhibitor status, hemophilia type, and bleeding severity. Additional considerations, such as the proper preparation and administration of factor replacement products and DDAVP, are also included.

Designed to support emergency department personnel, the Bleeding Disorders Guidelines pocket guide ensures that healthcare professionals have quick access to critical information when treating patients with bleeding disorders.

In collaboration with Guideline Central, NBDF has made these guidelines available in multiple formats for convenient access.
