Overview

Blood transfusion is the therapeutic transfer of blood or blood components, such as packed red cells, platelets, plasma, or cryoprecipitate, from a donor to a recipient to replace deficient or lost components and restore oxygen-carrying capacity, haemostasis, or volume. It is a cornerstone of management in anaemia, major haemorrhage, trauma, surgery, malignancy, and inherited disorders such as sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. Safe transfusion practice depends on donor selection and screening for transfusion-transmissible infections, blood grouping and compatibility testing, appropriate ordering and indication, component storage and quality, and surveillance for adverse reactions, supported by transfusion services and patient blood-management strategies. Peer-reviewed work relevant to this topic examines collaborative blood-transfusion service and management systems, evaluation of blood-ordering practice for packed red cells, acute normovolaemic haemodilution in complex cardiac surgery, glucose and apoptosis in stored platelets, infection screening and confirmation testing in blood donors, and transfusion-relevant conditions including sickle cell disease and dengue-related haematological disturbance. These contributions span transfusion medicine, haematology, and blood-bank practice, addressing the supply, safety, storage, and clinical use of blood components, an area in which the journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to haematology and transfusion.
