Guide to the preparation, use and quality assurance of blood components
This guide contains a compendium of measures designed to ensure safety, efficacy and quality of blood components and is particularly intended for all those working in blood transfusion services. It describes the different blood components and gives information on their clinical indications and possible side effects.
This guide continues to be the „golden standard“ for blood transfusion services and forms the basis for many national guidelines in Europe and outside.
During the preparation of this 11th edition, the Council of Europe and the European Commission worked closely together to ensure that the requirements under Article 29 of the European union Directive 2002/98/Ec were compatible with the ones of this guide. More specifically, part A on the quality system for blood establishments has been completely overhauled.
Where necessary, chapters have been revised to take into account what can be achieved with new technology.
This reference book will be of interest to blood transfusion centres, legislators, health personnel and all those working in the field of blood transfusion.
