ANZCP Autotransfusion Course
The Australian and New Zealand Board of Perfusion (ANZBP) offers a 10 week online lecture-based course, designed to offer health professionals the relevant theoretical knowledge to safely operate and troubleshoot cell salvage devices. The course is open to all, but specifically targeted at anaesthetists, perfusionists, anaesthetic nurses/technicians, perioperative nurses, theatre technicians and nurse educators. We welcome enquiries from anyone wanting to expand their autotransfusion knowledge.
The course covers blood physiology, patient selection, contraindications, operational basics and troubleshooting, with the objective of providing a comprehensive education in safe and effective autotransfusion techniques. Content is delivered entirely online, thus the course is not recommended as a complete resource for the practical operation of autotransfusion devices (some in-hospital training is recommended on your specific device).
