    Author: Shafer N, Wilkenfeld M, Shafer R.
    Journal: Leg Med; 1980; ():207-20. PubMed ID: 7421388.
    Abstract:
    Transfusion reactions range from mismatching of blood causing reaction, to the transmission of diseases such as hepatitis through the improper screening of blood. This paper discusses guidelines for transfusions of various blood fractions or components, reasons for transfusions of red blood cells rather than whole blood, the problem of blood platelets, the prohibition against fibrinogen, and the various volume expanders.
