In no other branch of laboratory medicine has improved technology so quickly demonstrated
clinical benefit as it has in blood banking. A major consequence of this explosive
growth has been to bring the blood banker into the clinical forefront to assist the
clinician in selecting the appropriate product for his patient and in interpreting
the results of laboratory determinations. A discussion of several blood components
and procedures illustrates the dilemmas faced in blood banking today.
