An observational study of three different transfusion medicine teaching methods for medical students
Knowledge deficits of transfusion medicine are prevalent among learners and practicing physicians. In the past the transfusion medicine community has thoughtfully defined the content of transfusion medicine curriculums through Transfusion Medicine Academic Award Group and The Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists. The manner in which the curriculum should be delivered has been less carefully examined and defined.We completed an observational study in which we analyzed three different teaching techniques: in-person faculty led simulation curriculum consisting of didactic session and simulation (Simulation...

The Efficacy of Postoperative Iron Therapy in Improving Clinical and Patient-Centered Outcomes Following Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative oral and intravenous (IV) iron therapy in increasing hemoglobin levels and improving patient outcomes following elective surgery. The databases Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, the Transfusion Evidence Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched. (Source: Transfusion Medicine Reviews)

Purpura Fulminans: Mechanism and Management of Dysregulated Hemostasis
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a highly thrombotic subtype of disseminated intravascular coagulation that can accompany severe bacterial, and more rarely, viral infections. PF is associated with an extremely high mortality rate, and patients often die of overwhelming multisystemic thrombosis rather than septic shock. Survivors typically experience amputation of involved extremities and significant scarring in affected areas. Despite the devastating clinical course associated with this hemostatic complication of infection, the mechanism of PF remains poorly understood. (Source: Transfusion Medicine Reviews)

The Earliest Blood Transfusions in 17th-Century in Italy (1667 –1668)
Historical accounts of the earliest experiments in blood transfusion celebrate work done in France and England in 1667 to 1668. Less attention has been given to pioneering experiments conducted at the same period in Italy. We review records of the first blood transfusion experiments conducted in 17th century Italy. Using original source documents, we provide details of early experiments focusing on the identity of early researchers, their instruments, and techniques. Accounts of the period describe animal-to-animal, animal-to-human, and human-to-human transfusions. (Source: Transfusion Medicine Reviews)

Transfusion in Critical Care
Caring for patients with critical illness is both risky and expensive. In the landmark report, To Err is Human, the Institute of Medicine estimated that errors in healthcare resulted in an estimated 44,000 to 98,000 potentially avoidable deaths each year [1]. Other studies suggest that 30-40% of every dollar spent on healthcare is associated with overuse, misuse and overall inefficiencies in the delivery of care [2]. In most hospitals, the intensive care unit (ICU) is the setting where these risks and costs are highest [3]. (Source: Transfusion Medicine Reviews)
