Evaluation of a visual risk communication tool: effects on knowledge and perception of blood transfusion risk.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A simple and rapid slide Polybrene method (SP) for pretransfusion compatibility testing is described. SP is particularly suitable for use in developing countries where, due to limited resources, centrifuges and biologic reagents may not be readily available. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:The original manual Poly...
