Hemophilia: An Overview for the Home Infusion Clinician

Hemophilia: An Overview for the Home Infusion Clinician

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder where blood fails to clot properly due to a deficiency or absence of clotting factors. Management typically involves the infusion of clotting factor proteins to control and prevent bleeding episodes, whether from injuries or during planned medical procedures. While most hemophilia care is overseen by federal Hemophilia Treatment Centers, home infusion pharmacies also play a critical role in treatment. This educational activity will explore the essential components of hemophilia management, including an overview of the coagulation cascade, the differences between Hemophilia A and B, and the available treatment options. The discussion will also address important safety concerns related to plasma pooling in the production of clotting factors and blood products, as well as the unique challenges of home-based care. This activity is designed for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and nurses.
