Alternatives to standard blood transfusion: availability and promise

C V Prowse. Transfus Med. 1999 Dec.

Abstract

Largely due to concerns over safety, a wide variety of alternatives to the conventional blood bank products of red cells, platelet concentrates, plasma and fractionated plasma products are under development. This review attempts to survey the alternative therapies that are being developed, whether they provide viable solutions and what impact they might have on transfusion practice.
