To make blood components and blood products safe, many safety measures are applied to avoid transfusion-transmitted infections. Defining a balanced safety policy is not easy, we face several dilemmas: How safe should blood be? Should we opt for maximal or optimal safety? Are perceived threats real and relevant? Should blood be clean while food, air, or mosquitoes are not? Is vCJD still a threat? It seems wise to discuss these issues more in the open.
为确保血液成分和血液制品的安全,人们采取了许多安全措施以避免输血传播感染。制定一项平衡的安全政策并非易事,我们面临诸多困境:血液应多安全?我们应追求最大安全还是最佳安全?感知到的威胁是真实且相关的吗?当食物、空气或蚊子不被要求绝对安全时,血液是否应保持绝对纯净?变异克雅氏病(vCJD)仍是一种威胁吗?公开更多地讨论这些问题似乎是明智之举。
