Personnel for Blood Transfusion Services in Nigeria: A Multicenter Cooperative Study

Abstract

The intravenous infusion of blood components into someone’s circulation is known as a blood transfusion. For a variety of medical disorders, transfusions are performed to replenish lost blood components. In the past, whole blood was used for transfusions, but in modern medicine, just the blood’s constituent parts—such as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, and platelets—are frequently employed. A typical blood service is a multidisciplinary system that requires a wide range of specialists. These people include medical scientists, and technical professionals as well as the nursing staff. Several elements, including the workplace environment, the availability of essentials like PPE, gloves, and water, the training of employees, and the formulation of policies, affect how effective a transfusion service is. To comprehend Personnel for Blood Transfusion Services in Nigeria: A multicentre cooperative study, the study reviews pertinent literature.
