Klappentext
Critical Issues in Transfusion Medicine and Apheresis Practice ensures the safe and effective use of blood and blood components to save lives and improve patient outcomes. It involves a multidisciplinary approach, integrating clinical practice, laboratory science, and regulatory oversight. The book addresses blood collection, testing, transfusion management and treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD), Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and more and essential to the management of acute transfusion reactions. It is organized four parts starting with Clinically Challenging Scenarios in Transfusion Medicine to Challenging situations with case reports in Apheresis service. The book is multidisciplinary and useful for anyone who are involved in practice of transfusion medicine and for pathologists in blood bank and transfusion medicine.
