    AbstractAn evolving understanding of the consequences of allogeneic blood transfusion and escalating costs of providing allogeneic blood have resulted in an interest in blood management. Understanding the consequences of allogeneic transfusion includes a recognition of the immunosuppressive effects of allogeneic transfusion, a growing awareness of transfusion-related acute lung injury, and a rediscovery of transfusion-associated circulatory overload. More recently, interest has focused on the effect of stored blood on patient outcome. Although this discussion is not all-inclusive, it is intended to show that many techniques can be applied to decrease the exposure to allogeneic blood.Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
