Blood Transfusion Therapy: A Handbook, 14th edition - Print

Hard to believe that things can change so much in 3 years. So although much of the “tried and true” content that was covered in the previous edition is still included, this updated edition has been thoroughly reviewed and augmented to capture the most recent trends in transfusion medicine practice. Concise discussions address blood components and derivatives, hemostatic disorders, transfusion complications, massive transfusion, patient blood management, and therapeutic apheresis.

The book includes new content on:

• Liquid plasma, pathogen-inactivated plasma, factor concentrates.
• RhIG dosing.
• Pre-hospital transfusion.
• Hyperhemolysis syndrome.
• Massive hemorrhage, including use of whole blood.
• Pathogen-reduced platelets.

Plus:

• Updates from the new 2023 ASFA Guidelines.
• An updated diagram of a communication protocol for MTP activation.
• Updated references on transfusion management using thromboelastography.

Edited by Melissa Cushing, MD; Jessica Poisson, MD, and Nick Bandarenko, MD
