Although blood and its components are essential to modern therapy, they should be viewed as potentially dangerous liquid transplants. Transfusion is an admission of diagnostic or therapeutic defeat, to be used only if no other reasonable means of replacing low blood components is available. Only those components which are missing should be replaced. Red cells, platelets, coagulation factors and (in some centres) leucocytes are available in concentrated form. Although transfusion reactions are rare, they may be serious. Consultation with the hospital or Red Cross blood bank director should be undertaken in transfusion problems.
尽管血液及其成分对现代治疗至关重要，但它们应被视为潜在危险的液体移植物。输血是诊断或治疗失败的承认，只有在没有其他合理替代低血液成分的方法可用时才使用。仅应替换缺失的成分。浓缩形式提供红细胞、血小板、凝血因子和（在某些中心）白细胞。尽管输血反应很少见，但可能很严重。在输血问题上应咨询医院或红十字会血库主任。
