  • Title: Massive blood transfusion therapy.
    Author: Corazza ML, Hranchook AM.
    Journal: AANA J; 2000 Aug; 68(4):311-4. PubMed ID: 11125603.
    Abstract:
    Surgical patients requiring massive blood transfusion therapy present many challenges for the anesthetist. The decision to transfuse homologous banked blood and its components must be weighed against the potential complications that may occur in this form of therapy. A review of metabolic changes that occur in banked blood, the risk of infection, and physiologic derangements that may develop during massive blood transfusion are presented.
