Download or read book Blood Transfusion and Blood Components written by WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1995 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative guide, translated from the Dutch original, to the clinically justified and safe use of specific blood components to meet specific clinical needs. Noting that blood transfusion can be a dangerous therapy, the book aims to help clinicians make transfusion decisions on the basis of the most complete and up-to-date knowledge about blood components, their clinical indications, and associated risks. The book has ten chapters presented in two groups. Chapters in the first group describe the state-of-the-art in blood grouping and blood banking, concentrating on information relevant to safe transfusion practice. Chapters in the second group spell out the do's and don'ts of safe transfusion practice. Guidelines and advice are intended to help clinicians avoid unjustified transfusions, know when transfusion is clearly indicated, and then select the correct transfusion material with the correct component from the correct donor. Other chapters cover the prevention of transfusion reactions and the prevention of transfusion-transmissible disease. The remaining chapters provide a model transfusion policy for the emergency management of acute massive blood loss, and outline procedures for the use of exchange transfusion to treat haemolytic disease of the newborn.

Download or read book HIV and the Blood Supply written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-10-05 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was doneâ€"and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area: Product treatmentâ€"Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner? Donor screening and referralâ€"including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated bloodâ€"analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communicationâ€"examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of damage control resuscitation (DCR), an evidence-based approach to the resuscitation of patients with severe life-threatening hemorrhage (LTH). It focuses on both civilian and military applications as DCR is utilized in civilian trauma situations as well as combat casualty care settings.

Chapters provide in-depth detail on hemostatic resuscitation principles, dried plasma, dried platelet surrogates, and recent developments in frozen red blood cells and oxygen carriers. The book also discusses how DCR principles can be used in a variety of situations such as when there are large numbers of patients with hemorrhagic lesions, non-trauma scenarios, and on distinct populations such as children. Finally, it concludes with a discussion of training and education methods for the implementation of DCR and remote DCR principles as well as learning healthcare system principles to facilitate the implementation of DCR and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with life-threatening hemorrhage.
