Overview

Blood transfusion is the medical procedure of transferring blood or specific blood components from a donor into a recipient's circulation to replace what has been lost or to correct a deficiency. Modern transfusion practice usually involves separating donated blood into components, such as red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and clotting factors, so that patients receive only what they need. Transfusions are used to treat acute blood loss from surgery or trauma, severe anemia, bleeding disorders, and conditions affecting the production or function of blood cells. Safe transfusion depends on careful donor screening, accurate blood typing and cross-matching to ensure compatibility, and rigorous testing for transfusion-transmissible infections, supported by well-managed blood banking and quality systems to minimize risks such as immune reactions and infection. Within the scope of the International Journal of Blood Transfusion, this collection includes directly relevant work, including studies of blood transfusion services and collaborative blood-management systems, evaluation of blood ordering practice for packed red blood cells, acute normovolemic hemodilution in cardiac surgery, and the storage and quality of platelets. The page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to transfusion medicine, blood banking, and the safe clinical use of blood and its components.
