About the Book
This thoroughly revised Third Edition by Sr Mehdi serves as a practical and dependable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students of pathology, as well as for laboratory technicians working in blood banks and transfusion services. The book addresses a long-standing gap in blood banking education by offering clear, structured, and updated information that supports both academic learning and real-world application.
A major addition to this edition is the dedicated chapter on Standards of Blood Banks, incorporating official guidelines published by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), Ministry of Health, Government of India. These standards are crucial for anyone planning to establish or manage a blood bank, making this book a valuable technical and operational manual for professionals in the field.
Each chapter concludes with a panel of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) along with answer keys, making the book ideal for revision and competitive exams. The dedicated chapters on Obstetrics & Gynecology and Pediatrics provide essential insights for residents in these specialties, particularly in selecting appropriate blood products for clinical use—a task often found challenging in practice.
Recognizing the vital role of technicians in blood bank operations, the book includes content tailored for students of DMLT and BMLT, whose curriculum requires deeper and more comprehensive knowledge of blood banking procedures. Its concise and easy-to-carry format allows it to function both as a textbook and a practical manual for day-to-day blood bank operations.
With its blend of theoretical clarity, practical guidance, updated standards, and exam-oriented content, this edition stands as an indispensable resource for students, residents, and blood bank professionals alike.
