Abstract
Although the transfusion of red cells is a relatively common clinical event, patients with hematologic malignancies have special requirements for their red cell products and are at increased risk for certain adverse effects of transfusion. This chapter will provide an overview of many of the basic principles of transfusion medicine with a focus on the issues which are relevant to the restoration of oxygen carrying capacity in the patient with a hematologic malignancy.
