Today’s transfusion is no longer limited to whole blood; it encompasses red blood cells, platelets, plasma derivatives, and specialized components, with indications spanning life-saving resuscitation, prophylaxis, and targeted disease management. Clinical applications extend across surgery, obstetrics, internal medicine, pediatrics, hematology, and oncology, while precision, personalized transfusion demands sharper clinical judgment and decision-making than ever before. Against this backdrop, the 14th edition of Blood Transfusion Therapy – A Handbook from the Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies (AABB), updated in 2023, stands as an essential, practice-aligned resource for frontline clinicians.
