Blood as a transplant is not free of risks. Clinicians and patients ought to know the parameters of a transfusion informed consent. A mixed methodology to explore patients' and clinicians' knowledge and opinions of administration and strategies to improve the transfusion informed consent process was conducted. The clinicians' level of knowledge was limited to provision of information about and the right to consent to a transfusion. They disagreed on administrative issues but had acceptable opinions on improving the process. Patients perceived this process as a way of assurance of blood safety. This process is important and should not be omitted.
血液作为一种移植手段并非没有风险。临床医生和患者应该了解输血知情同意的各项参数。我们采用了一种混合方法来探究患者和临床医生对于输血管理的知识以及对改善输血知情同意过程的策略和看法。临床医生的知识水平仅限于提供有关输血的信息以及同意输血的权利。他们在管理问题上存在分歧，但对于改善这一过程有可接受的意见。患者将这个过程视为确保血液安全的一种方式。这个过程很重要，不应被省略。
