Clinically focused transfusion therapy guidance updated for current practice

Now in its Sixth Edition, Transfusion Medicine provides clinically focused coverage of blood banking and transfusion therapy. This edition has been fully updated and revised to reflect developments since the Fifth Edition, including advances in clinical practice and the significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the field. A new section addresses transfusion during the pandemic and its consequences for blood supply and donor recruitment.

From donor management and blood collection through laboratory testing and clinical application, this edition covers hemoglobin thresholds across clinical scenarios, management of acute traumatic blood loss, adverse reactions to transfusion, and expanded discussion of the HLA system in transplantation. New content addresses molecular testing for blood group identification, pathogen-reduced blood products, novel cellular therapies including CAR T cells and mesenchymal stem cells, patient blood management programs, and the increasing variety of donors for stem cell transplantation.

Readers will also find:

  • Extensive references throughout each chapter enabling rapid access to primary literature for further investigation on specific topics
  • Coverage of quality programs in blood banking addressing operational questions relevant to daily laboratory and clinical practice
  • Discussion of the current US blood supply landscape including platelet shortages and evolving donor recruitment challenges
  • Practical guidance on the laboratory implementation of molecular testing in clinical blood group identification
  • A balance of breadth and clinical depth that serves equally well as background reading for trainees and as an operational reference for daily practice.

Written for transfusion medicine physicians, fellows, pathology residents, hematology and oncology practitioners, surgeons, anesthesiologists, laboratory technologists, and non-medical professionals working in blood banking and transfusion services, Transfusion Medicine delivers the clinical depth and operational guidance needed by anyone involved in transfusion practice.
