In the absence of substitutes, the use of blood components remains essential in therapy. This guide contains a compendium of measures designed to ensure safety, efficacity and quality of blood components and is particularly intended for all those working in blood transfusion services.
In accordance with the approach recommended by the Council of Europe in this field, it is based on the premise of voluntary, non-remunerated blood donation. It describes the different blood components and gives information on their clinical indications and possible side effects.
Adopted in 1995 as a technical appendix to Recommendation No. R(95)15 of the Council of Europe, the guide continues to be the "golden standard" for blood transfusion services and forms the basis for many national guidelines, in Europe and outside. For example, in 2000 Australia mandated the guide in its standard for blood components.
In this 8th edition, chapter 12 on red cells obtained by apheresis has been completely overhauled. Where necessary, chapters have been revised in order to take into account what can be achieved with new technology. For example, in Chapter 1 on selection of donors the requirements for apheresis donors have been updated.
The Guide to the preparation, use and quality assurance of blood components will be of interest to blood transfusion centres, legislators, health personnel and all those working in the field of blood transfusion.
