ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Given the prevalence of anaemia in elderly people and its consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality, transfusions are common procedures in geriatrics. A survey was carried out of 41 nurses working in geriatrics to discover the conditions in which these transfusions are carried out and the particularities of a transfusion in an elderly person.
