About this book

This thoroughly revised and updated case-based book describes a variety of clinical scenarios in transfusion medicine likely to be encountered in a busy teaching hospital. It highlights the stream of clinical and laboratory data available to transfusionists, while reviewing the critical thinking required to lead the decision-making process towards accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.

Transfusion Medicine: Case Studies and Clinical Management is a lively illustration of various clinical problems in transfusion medicine, including immune complications, microbiological problems, blood component use, apheresis techniques and management of complex situations, such as multiple trauma, sickle cell crisis and organ transplantation. Each case is carefully chosen and presented, with incorporated questions leading the reader towards solution of the problem in a logical and didactic manner. It is therefore essential reading for all medical and scientific professionals involved in managing transfusion, from hematologists to obstetricians, surgeons, intensivists and immunologists.
