Abstract
Transfusion medicine can be a lifesaving intervention. Component therapy has expanded the availability and blood products available. Patient safety and minimizing risk is important and can be accomplished through proper donor screening, collection, storage, compatibility testing, administration, and monitoring. The pros and cons of available products must be considered and tailored to each individual patient. Recent discoveries include new antigens and blood types, microbial effects on blood type, and the association between blood type and disease prevalence.
