Transfusion Medicine in Practice

Transfusion Medicine in Practice focuses on the clinical applications of transfusion, discussing the different settings in which transfusion is carried out, including surgery, transplant, trauma, intensive care, and paediatric neonatal and obstetric cases. The text also includes a full discussion of transfusion products and how to use them, pharmacologic products as an alternative to blood, and transfusion service management. This practical text on the clinical practice of transfusion will be an invaluable resource for all those involved in the use of blood and blood products.
