Ethical Issues in Transfusion Medicine

Colin R. MacPherson

Medicine

An indispensable tool in the implementation of evidence-based medicine, this book presents the rationale of clinical research methods and describes their application in the field of transfusion medicine. In addition, it provides the tools needed to understand and practice evidence-based medicine, as well as an objective assessment of the risks that are presently associated with blood transfusion. The concepts and tools of epidemiology are presented with an example-based approach, and the treatment of the methodologic issues is conceptual.

Evidence-Based Practice of Transfusion Medicine

PHD.

Many hospitals and transfusion services are now using pneumatic tube delivery systems as a means of delivering blood products faster and more efficiently. To ensure product safety and the maintenance of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is to provide direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood component distribution. For facilities currently using this technology, this serves as a comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the current validation. For institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality assurance goals.
