Rossi's Principles of Transfusion Medicine

Transfusion Medicine impacts patients with hematologic, oncologic, and  surgical conditions as well as all areas of critical care medicine and  multiple areas of chronic care. This book aims to be the single best  source for information related to any aspect or application of  Transfusion Medicine.

Contributors for the sixth edition have  once again been drawn from various scientific, medical, and surgical  disciplines. Thus, this book ranges from encouraging and managing  donors, to collecting and preserving the blood, to matching it to the  appropriate recipient, all the way to its clinical uses. It also extends  these concepts to implantable tissue and regenerative medicine. Other  sample topics covered within the work include:

Contemporary  issues in donation and transfusion: patient blood management, clinical  and technical aspects of blood administration, and donor and patient  Hemovigilance
Blood components and derivatives: red blood cell  metabolism, preservation and oxygen delivery, blood groups, and  composition of plasma
Apheresis, transplantation, and new therapies:  hematopoietic growth factors, therapeutic phlebotomy and cellular  apheresis, HLA antigens, alleles, and antibodies
How Transfusion Medicine has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, the role of pathogen reduction and other modern trends
This  book serves as a complete and comprehensive resource on Transfusion  Medicine for clinicians who prescribe blood, students who expect to  enter clinical practice, and for the scientists, physicians, nurses,  technologists, and others who assure the quality and availability of  blood services.
