Transfusion medicine is an excellent way for the healthy community
to help the sick. However, service providers and patients have much
to gain from the establishment of guidelines concerning when and
how it is used. An important first step would be to introduce
informed consent for transfusion recipients. Discussions with blood
banks and assessment of clinical demand would also be necessary,
taking into account the needs of patients and physicians, and the
availability of products. Unfortunately, the efficacy and safety of
transfusion products can be difficult to ascertain. Furthermore,
although major advances have been made in safety, the risks of
giving and receiving blood are still seen as high. It is vital to
learn what underlies that perception and how to counter it. The
policies and protocols used to establish surgical criteria for
blood transfusions should be explored. Finally, clinical audits can
help evaluate the risk: benefit ratio of transfusion; they may be
carried out by hospital transfusion committees but are likely to be
more successful with the support of national and international
legislative and regulatory bodies. The implementation of
appropriate initiatives now will improve the outlook for the future
of transfusion medicine, perhaps with ex-vivo expanded haemopoietic
cell therapy as the next milestone. All these key points and
controversies are explored in this book, which paints a broad
picture of the current status and future trends in transfusion
medicine.
