title: [Principal clinical indications for direct transfusion therapy].
abstract: So-called "directed" transfusion results in better utilisation and hence a saving of blood, along with less risk to the patient. An examination is made of the few diseases in which the transfusion of whole blood is indicated, and the very many cases in which blood derivatives can be usefully employed.
