The
Transfusion Evidence Alert email arrived today. This is one of my better
sources of CPD. There was quite a bit of interest today. I was particularly
intrigued by a study into the effect of age of transfused
blood on patient outcome.
In
burn victims there wouldn’t seem to be much of a problem in giving older blood
rather than fresher blood. That’s probably for the best; if the fresher blood
is demonstrably better than should we be giving the older stuff at all?
