Each chapter follows a standard format including numerous tables and algorithms, with summary elements highlighted throughout by a second-color for quick reference.
Sections Include:
* Blood collection and testing
* Blood component description
* Preparation and usage
* Red blood cell antigens and antibodies
* Specialized component processing
* Specialized transfusion situations
* Transfusion-transmitted diseases
* Transfusion reactions
* Infectious complications of transfusion
* Therapeutic apheresis and quality
* Acute bleeding and massive transfusion
* Transfusion of the patient with a coagulopathy
* Transfusion of obstetrics, pediatric, immunocompromised, and platelet refractory patients
* Up-to-date references to all aspects of transfusion medicine
