This bundle brings together On-Call Manual: A Systematic Approach to Solving Common Issues in Transfusion Medicine and Key Concepts in Transfusion Medicine.
The On-Call Manual is a handy resource intended to assist residents, fellows, and attending pathologists who are on call, are covering the transfusion service, and do not yet have the experience of a seasoned expert. More than 20 realistic cases are presented by editors Philip Howard, MD; Alexis Peedin, MD; and Melissa George, DO. The scenarios demonstrate the types of situations that can happen at any time but seemingly happen on your watch rather frequently. The cases involve patients experiencing transfusion reactions; clinicians requesting red cell, platelet, and plasma/cryoprecipitate transfusion; possible use of apheresis; and situations involving obstetric/perinatal/pediatric patients.
Each case spans the initial questions to be asked, differential diagnosis, consultation with others, evaluation of test results, what portends for the patient’s future transfusion management, and handing off to the next shift’s personnel with a complete report. References and suggested readings are also included.
Key Concepts in Transfusion Medicine is intended to review and re-enforce the key concepts that professionals involved in the clinical aspects of blood transfusion (including apheresis and cellular therapy) need to know. For the clinicians who order blood components and the nurses who administer them, for physicians and technologists in training to become blood bankers, and for seasoned professionals who are mentoring newcomers in the field—this book is ideal.
Edited by Joseph Schwartz, MD, MPH, and Huy Pham, MD, MPH, Key Concepts distills the current body of transfusion knowledge, presenting the material in a conversational style using language comprehensible to the nonspecialist. It highlights key ideas, facts, conclusions, and suggested readings, so readers who complete this volume should have a solid basis on which to make intelligent transfusion decisions as well as a good foundation for further reading. Its rather unique format includes marginal notes that re-emphasize the most important points, whether they are good ideas or warnings to remember. Topics covered include:
