“Why Do We Leukocyte-Reduce Blood”

Ten Minute Tutorial

Recorded January 2013

This podlet, recorded in January 2013, is a ten minute tutorial on leukocyte reduction of blood products. I discuss prevention of CMV transmission, reduction of febrile reactions, and prevention of HLA alloimmunization.

The Blood Bank Guy Videos were recorded at various times between 2010 and 2014. All videos were as current as I could make them at the time of the recording, but I cannot guarantee that they are 100% up to date. For more information on many topics covered in these videos, please see either the Blood Bank Guy Essentials Podcast or the Blood Bank Guy Essentials Blog!
