Blood Component Therapy
Blood component therapy involves the separation of whole blood into components for targeted transfusion to correct specific deficits.
Transfusion Reactions and Adverse Events
Transfusion reactions range from mild febrile responses to life-threatening hemolytic reactions requiring immediate recognition and intervention.
ABO and Rh Blood Group Systems
The ABO and Rh blood group systems are the most clinically significant blood group antigens, determining transfusion compatibility and hemolytic disease risk.
Antibody Screening and Crossmatching
Antibody screening and crossmatching are pre-transfusion tests that detect clinically significant RBC antibodies and ensure donor-recipient compatibility.
