Use of Blood Products in a Radiation Emergency

This webpage contains information on the use of blood products in a radiation emergency (e.g., in the event patients require blood product transfusion two to four weeks after high doses of whole-body radiation exposure). The site includes background information on transfusion issues and policies, post-transfusion graft-versus-host disease, platelet transfusion guidance, and pediatric red cell transfusions in radiation emergencies.
