With the advent of blood banks and subsequent advances in collection and preservation of blood, the transfusion of blood allowed the performance of blood-losing surgery and the support of rigorous cancer treatments, as well as the support of patients who have hematologic illnesses. As the life-saving functions of transfusion were realized, so were the associated hazards inherent in this most widely performed type of tissue transplantation. This article reviews the quality initiatives that have been used to make blood transfusion safer and offers suggestions for further quality improvements.
随着血库的出现以及随后在血液采集和保存方面的进展,输血使得失血手术得以进行,严格的癌症治疗得到支持,同时也为患有血液疾病的患者提供了支持。随着输血挽救生命的功能被认识到,这种最广泛进行的组织移植所固有的相关风险也被认识到了。本文回顾了为使输血更安全而采取的质量改进措施,并为进一步的质量提升提出了建议。
