Meeting the needs of patients while minimizing blood transfusions
requires special expertise, precise monitoring and innovative
techniques. This cutting-edge resource covers all the important
clinical aspects of transfusion medicine in diverse clinical
settings, with a special emphasis on alternatives to transfusion.

Edited by a multidisciplinary team consisting of a transfusion
specialist, an anesthesiologist and an intensive care specialist
this book is endorsed by the Network for Advancement of Transfusion
Alternatives. The contributors review the appropriate use of fluids
and of blood products, and describe the latest treatment options
available to decrease the need for allogeneic blood products
including:

* Argon beam

* Cell saver

* Harmonic scalpel

* Normovolemic haemodilution

* Synthetic erythropoietin

* Antifibrinolytics

Rezensionen

"It would be of great interest to students or practitioners in
laboratory and/or transfusion medicine, anesthesiology, and surgery
interested in alternatives to blood transfusion. The editors and
authors are credible authorities in their fields." (Doody's, 9
September 2011)

"The book provides the state of the art in blood transfusion
management and I shall certainly be referring to it often as I
continue to develop a blood conservation programme in my own
hospital." (The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, 1
July 2011)
