DA ADOÇÃO DO PROGRAMA DE GERENCIAMENTO DE SANGUE DO PACIENTE (PBM) SOB A PERSPECTIVA DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS E DO DIREITO À SAÚDE

Abstract

This article aims to address Patient Blood Management (PBM), focusing on its implementation as a public health policy in Brazil, in response to recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO). It highlights the relationship between PBM and human rights, the right to health, and patient autonomy. The analysis examines the adoption of PBM as a public health policy in Brazil in light of human rights, with an emphasis on respecting human dignity, patient autonomy, and the right to health. Furthermore, the study also sought to analyze the risks associated with blood transfusions and the need for alternatives, such as PBM, as well as to explore the relationship between patient autonomy and the right to refuse medical treatments involving blood transfusions. Additionally, the research evaluates the implementation of PBM as a public policy in Brazil, in compliance with WHO recommendations. This study was developed using a hypothetico-deductive method, based on qualitative and descriptive research, including documentary analysis of Brazilian legislation, court rulings, decisions from the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), and WHO recommendations related to public health policy and PBM, as well as bibliographic analysis. The study found that PBM is an alternative to reduce the need for blood transfusions, while respecting patient autonomy, and its implementation is presented as a public policy consistent with the protection and promotion of human rights in the country.
