Yazer MD. <p>The concise and comprehensive content covers the diverse field of transfusion medicine including; the fields of haemostasis, immunology, transplantation and cellular engineering; apheresis technology; treatment using recombinant and plasma-derived plasma proteins; and the daily use of blood components in clinical medicine. Such is the reach of the field that without transfusion resources ensuring the provision of a safe blood supply very little of modern surgery and medicine could be accomplished. The seven sections of this book guide the reader systematically through the key areas of the speciality; principles of transfusion medicine; complications of transfusion; practice in blood centres and hospitals; clinical transfusion practice; patient blood management; cellular and tissue therapy and organ transplantation; and development of the evidence base for transfusion. <p>This book offers: <ul> <li>A succinct and user-friendly resource with key points, charts and algorithms</li> <li>Discussion of practice in blood centres and hospitals, including regulatory aspects, transfusion safety, production and storage, donor care, and blood transfusion in a global context</li> <li>Coverage of cellular and tissue therapies and organ transplantation, including stem cell collection and haematopoietic stem cell processing and storage</li> <li>Review of the development of the evidence base for transfusion medicine</li> <li>Content on the alternatives to transfusions, and practical clinical advice</li> </ul><br> <p>This book is ideal for trainee or resident haematologists revising for examinations and as a reference source for clinical and scientific staff working in the field of transfusion medicine.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This is a great book if you want a truly practical and up-to-date guide to transfusion medicine.
