The acute medical services could not exist without blood transfusions--life-savers in many situations. But transfusions can also be a quick and easy route for the transmission of infectious agents such as HIV, HBV, HCV and malaria. Infection through blood supply is a major issue in all countries but particularly in those with economic constraints which limit safety. This study was carried out in India (March-May 1997) and involved centres in Delhi, Calcutta and Vellore. It examined many aspects of blood transfusion including donor screening, use of professional donors, blood testing and criteria for blood use. The many problems in Indian blood transfusion services are mirrored in other countries. Here we examine the problems, priorities and practicalities of blood transfusion particularly in developing countries.
没有输血，急性医疗服务就无法存在——在许多情况下输血都是救命的。但输血也可能是艾滋病毒、乙肝病毒、丙肝病毒和疟疾等感染源快速且容易的传播途径。通过血液供应感染是所有国家的一个主要问题，尤其是在那些因经济限制而影响安全性的国家。这项研究于1997年3月至5月在印度开展，涉及德里、加尔各答和韦洛尔的一些中心。它研究了输血的许多方面，包括献血者筛查、职业献血者的使用、血液检测和用血标准。印度输血服务中的诸多问题在其他国家也存在。在此我们探讨输血的问题、优先事项和实际情况，尤其是在发展中国家。
