N. , RN-BC  \nThis chapter was revised during a pandemic and COVID 19 restrictions. It addresses aspects of travel to be considered in respect to having a bleeding disorder. COVID 19 considerations will not be addressed. For information regarding COVID 19 concerns and travel in general, please review resources at the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) [website](website www.hemophilia.org)[ ](website www.hemophilia.org)[www.hemophilia.org](website www.hemophilia.org), or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [website](website www.cdc.gov)[ ](website www.cdc.gov)[www.cdc.gov](website www.cdc.gov).  \nPlanning for travel is important to decrease worry and allow for happy and healthy travel for individuals with a bleeding disorder and their families. Planning and preparation will include a plan of care, should trauma or other unexpected events occur.  \nThe focus of this chapter is vacation and trip planning. However, it is important for the Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) staff to discuss with patients that any time they travel away from home and use vehicles such as the car, bus, boat or bike, they should follow some basic safety measures. Please see the attached MASAC document \\#201 recommendation (Attachment A) for guidelines regarding usage of medical alert tagsand review the resources listed at the end of this chapter. Patients should be reminded to always wear an up-to-date medical alert tag and perhaps also carry a medical emergency card from their HTC in their wallet. Many HTC Chapters offer financial assistance to assist families with obtaining and maintaining a medical alert tag, if needed.  \nPreparations for Travel  \nHemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs), many of which have undergone a name change to reflect care for hemostasis and thrombosis patients, play an important role in preparing their patients for travel. HTCs also serve as valuable resources for families travelling to their location because of the assured expertise in managing bleeding disorders, the ease of networking between HTCs and the availability of factor products and medications used to treat bleeding disorders at an HTC. When searching for HTCsto serve as a resource, it is important to note that some centers serve only pediatric or adult patients, while others can accommodate both populations.  \nHTC staff should discuss the importance of planning for travel at the annual comprehensive evaluations and during other routine contacts with the family. The hemophilia nurse assists by helping the family exercise responsibility in making preparations to insure safe, enjoyable travel.  \nFamilies should consider each member’s ability to participate in the activities of the trip and discuss any concerns with the HTC staff ahead of time.  \nPatients must have a thorough knowledge of their disorder, the therapy and its purposes. They should understand the plan in case of trauma and or bleeding events. Of course, this plan must be individualized for each patient.  \nTravel Letters  \nA letter explaining the patient’s condition and required treatment is an essential component of ensuring safe travel. Travel letters should be customized to express the specific needs and concerns for each patient.  \nHere is a general outline of information to be considered for inclusion in a travel letter:  \n• Demographic information: Name, date of birth, address, telephone \\#,• Type and severity of bleeding disorder.  \n• Treatment required: product, dosage, frequency, method of administration and reason (emergency, routine bleeding, prophylaxis) .  \n• Special considerations: inhibitor, target joints, sensitivities or allergic reactions  \n• Self-infusion or assisted infusion capacity.  \n• Authorization to carry factor concentrates, needles, syringes and other supplies  \n• Medical history, as needed for care concerns.  \n• HTC Contact information, including phone number with 24/7 hour availability The NHF website contains a t","cbCaioGt9GJi2ITK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioGt9GJi2ITK","pdf",124556,7,"English","# Preparations for Travel\n## Role of Hemophilia Treatment Centers (HTCs)\n## Family and patient preparation\n# Travel Letters\n## Essential content outline\n## Emergency room care guidance\n# Locating a Hemophilia Treatment Center or Hemophilia Chapter","[{\"question\":\"Why is travel planning important for people with a bleeding disorder?\",\"answer\":\"Planning helps decrease worry and supports happy, healthy travel.
