title: [Blood transfusions, a closely monitored procedure].
abstract: A blood transfusion is a medical procedure which, in most cases, is delegated to a nurse. Strictly regulated, it requires vigilance at every stage. In the transfusion safety chain, the nurse plays a central role, notably in terms of information, identification, control, traceability, monitoring and reporting.
