Summary:

Difficulties in recruiting and retaining blood donors, concerns about emergency infections transmitted by blood, and higher associated costs have all combined in recent years to raise awareness of the need for blood conservation, and there is a growing realization amongst both the medical community and the public that blood is not always plentiful, safe, or inexpensive. New strategies for clinical care without allogeneic blood transfusion, referred to as "transfusion-free" or "bloodless" medicine have been developed in response to these issues. Edited by Nicolas Jabbour, one of the world's leaders in bloodless live donor liver transplants, Transfusion-Free Medicine and Surgery, 2nd edition, is a guide to the practice of blood conservation, exploring the relatively new field of transfusion-free medicine. Revised and updated throughout, this new edition of Dr Jabbour's highly regarded book includes novel chapters on blood utilization in cancer and older patients. Other topics covered include the legal and administrative aspects of bloodless medicine; the risks and benefits; the scientific issues of haemostasis and the investigation of bleeding disorders; blood conservation in neonatal and paediatric surgery;the costs associated with blood transfusion; and the quest for artificial blood. Transfusion-Free Medicine and Surgery 2nd Edition Provides the groundwork for developing a successful transfusion-free clinical program. Addresses the latest research in the field, including the latest techniques in bloodless medicine. Includes 50 self-assessment questions at the end to aid physician recertification Transfusion Free Medicine and Surgery, second edition, is essential reading for all those involved in prescribing and assessing transfustions, including haematologists, transfusion specialists, and surgeons.
