The giving of blood has appeared as a medical dream
since the time of recorded history. In ancient days great mysti-
cism was attached to the powers of blood. The capacity to
safely withdraw, store and eventually transfuse blood from one
individual to another is a stirring saga with many high and low
points. The modern day physician has the advantage of this
potent therapy to add to his therapeutic approaches in combating
human disease.
Transfusion therapy has several unique aspects, both for
the physician and laboratory. In spite of increased specializa-
tion, the requirement to efficiently employ blood transfusions is
of concern to all physicians. The use of this form of therapy is
encyclopedic and is a necessary adjunct no matter what area of
medical specialization is involved. This broad use of a potent
therapeutic agent requires detailed knowledge which must be
mastered in a large variety of clinical settings.
In the laboratory, a reversed but equally important position
is assumed in the administration of blood. The technical knowl-
edge required to efficiently process blood is so complex that the
blood bank staff becomes a central station advising both the
pathologist and clinician. We know of no other laboratory proce-
dure which is so dependent on a highly skilled professional
medical technologY staff. The technologist is continually aware
of this unique status and its responsibilities. Errors may and do
occur in many areas of laboratory medicine. Only in the blood
bank, however, does the frightening spectrum arise of a death
occurring in the advent of a procedural error.
The present volume has been developed primarily to in-
dicate the important aspects of blood banking as it applies to
students in the field. It is readily apparent that the technical
data cannot be divorced from the clinical framework. We have
attempted to present, in a systemized fashion, the necessary
information required to efficiently use and study human blood for
transfusion. Voluminous literature is available to the blood
banker. However, we have attempted to choose a limited number
of larger works in order to reduce the necessity of searching for
a multitude of references. In several places the authors were
unable to hide their bias and have presented their own view
without a specific reference.
