Blood Banking
Blood banking technically refers to the processes used to collect blood and blood components, store them appropriately, and prepare them for transfusion to a patient. However, many people also use the term to refer to the scientific processes of choosing appropriate products for individual patients and other clinical decisions that are really better defined as "transfusion medicine." Honestly, the articles and discussions on this site will sometimes lapse into the habit of using the two terms interchangeably. In fact, the name of this site is somewhat misleading, because the information discussed represents not only blood banking, but transfusion medicine as well.
