Perioperative Pediatric Patient Blood Management and Transfusion Safety

This case-based book is focused on perioperative pediatric PBM and blood transfusion safety, while addressing a number of patient management issues.

Divided into three sections covering all phases of perioperative care, each chapter consists of a stem question, followed by an analysis of the issue, then a discussion of the current evidence in the literature. Rather than being a transfusion-related book written by pathologists and laboratory specialists, chapters are authored by highly specialized clinicians who will write from first-hand experience in addition to an exploration of the current literature. The book features management summaries of topics with scant or only recently available evidence and offers novel content and format in the pediatric patient literature.

Perioperative Pediatric Patient Blood Management and Transfusion Safety is aimed for any clinician that treats a child before, during, or after a blood loss surgery.
