In almost every clinical specialty, blood products are used. However, transfusion medicine is often neglected in medical training. This book provides an excellent overview for non-transfusion medicine specialists or transfusion officers in handling cellular and plasma blood products. In addition to product descriptions, indications, pre-transfusion test discussions, and administration guidelines, it also covers the spectrum of side effects of blood components and the necessary subsequent measures, as well as transfusion emergencies. The book also addresses the CMV issue, perinatal/neonatal blood transfusion including Rh prophylaxis, plasma derivatives, hemovigilance, and look-back. The author's intention is to convey this specific area of clinical knowledge as effectively as possible and to ensure its optimal use.
