Blood Bank And Transfusion Medicine
Blood transfusion is a medical technique that can save a person's life. However, like with any treatment, transfusion of blood or blood components must be ordered and provided in a safe and suitable manner. Transfusion is a process rather than a single isolated occurrence.
Donor considerations are the first step in the transfusion process (whether their donation is safe for them to make and whether the donation is safe for any patient to receive). Once blood is collected, the safety of the blood product becomes a priority (infectious disease testing, compatibility testing, necessary modifications such as irradiation or leukocyte reduction).
