The Clinical Use of Blood in Medicine, Obstetrics, Paediatrics, Surgery and Anaesthesia and Burns

"The Clinical Use of Blood" CD-ROM consists of an open-learning manual and pocket handbook which provide comprehensive guidance on transfusion and alternatives to transfusion in the areas of general medicine, obstetrics, paediatrics and neonatology, surgery and anaesthesia, trauma and acute surgery, and burns.

These materials have been developed for prescribers of blood at all levels of the health system, particularly clinicians and senior paramedical staff at district-hospital level in developing countries.

They can be used in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, in-service training and continuing medical education programmes, including independent study.

They are designed to promote wider use of methods to minimize unnecessary blood transfusion.

Key points, tables and algorithms are highlighted for easy reference and a comprehensive index and CD-ROM search engine make researching topics easy.
