This edition features the latest discussions and findings in transfusion therapy and fills a niche between the handbook and weightier compendia, and provides guidance on how and when to prescribe blood components and derivatives. Enhanced content covers discussions of transfusion therapy in surgery, pediatric transfusion, transfusion-induced immunomodulation, transfusion in stem cell transplantation, and Rh Immune Globulin therapy. The third edition is a must-have for anyone in the field of transfusion medicine.
