	Transfusion Medicine
		Although the transfusion of HIV-, HBV-, or HCV-infected autologous blood or components does not present a risk to the autologous donor, such a transfusion presents a risk to other patients, considering that at least 1 in every 25,000 transfusions are administered to the wrong individual.
		An implementation trial of leukocyte-reduced transfusions in cardiac surgery (primary coronary artery bypass graft and valve replacement) was performed from July to December 1998; comparisons were made with data from the same period in 1997.
		Allergic transfusion reactions were estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 4124 blood components transfused, or 1 in 2338 transfusion episodes.

		Transfusion medicine is rapidly changing from what was a relatively narrowly focused field with a limited diagnostic and therapeutic scope to one that embraces fundamental elements of immunology, stem cell biology, the inflammatory response and hemostatis.
		No longer constrained to diagnoses based on blood group serology or to therapies based on a limited number of blood components and derivatives, transfusion medicine is redefining itself through the clinical application of modern biotechniques.
		In Emerging Technologies in Transfusion Medicine examples of the emerging technologies that are transforming both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the field are highlighted, offering a deeper understanding and an informed evaluation necessary for their application.

	eMedicine - Transfusion and Autotransfusion : Article by Charles Yowler, MD
		Obviously, these early attempts at blood transfusion produced unsatisfactory results, and the acceptance of human blood transfusion in the early 1900s relied upon Landsteiner's discovery of the ABO antigen system, the acceptance of Lister's ideas of sepsis and sterility, and the introduction of anticoagulant systems.
		Approximately 1 per 260,000 patients has a delayed transfusion reaction due to antibodies to minor red cell antigens that were not detected by the routine pretransfusion antibody assay.
		One school of thought includes erythropoietin during the period of autologous blood transfusion, while other experts believe the risk of allogeneic blood transfusion is minimized in patients with anemia by avoiding autologous donation and utilizing the preoperative time to correct the anemia with a combination of iron and erythropoietin therapy.
