This exceptional reference book provides comprehensive insights into
the conditions and requirements necessary to establish an optimal and
supportive transfusion practice. It focuses on enhancing the
procurement process and manufacturing of blood products (components) in
an evidence-based and cost-effective manner, specifically targeting
the vital advancements needed in low and middle-income countries
(LMICs), which are home to 84% of the global population.
While this
book does not delve into practical disciplinary guidelines, its
emphasis lies on crucial topics. It explores the balance between
restricted and liberal use of blood and blood components, the
implementation and utilization of artificial intelligence (including
machine learning and deep learning), and the integration of a digital
footprint within clinical transfusion prescription and practice.
Additionally, it addresses the significance of educating clinicians in
transfusion medicine, considering the educational environment and
curricular outcomes. By contributing to the development of appropriate
clinical utilization of blood and blood components, the book highlights
the importance of patient blood management, evidence-based
decision-making, prescription practices, and bedside care delivered by
well-informed professionals, including clinicians, nurses, and
technologists. Furthermore, it underscores the significance of
fostering a conducive climate and environment, nurturing knowledge
economy, and implementing quality management practices.
In its
essence, this book serves as an invaluable source of knowledge to
enhance transfusion medicine practices, refine clinical indication
setting, and facilitate informed decision-making. By emphasizing
patient comfort, welfare, and the reduction of unnecessary harm and
risks, it aims to make a significant contribution to the field.
Hematologists and professionals involved in transfusion medicine will
find this book to be an indispensable reference that enhances their
understanding and expertise.
