Abstract
The risks associated to red cell and platelet transfusions are essentially bound to the polymorphism of blood group antigens and to transfusion transmitted agents including virus, bacterias… In France, the haemovigilance system and several investigations allowed to measure these different kinds of risks. We also developped analysis of failures in order to prevent errors and accidents to increase blood safety.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
