    Abstract Introduction: Spikes in the demand for blood components represent a substantial challenge to transfusion services. Simple metrics for characterizing volatility in blood components within the hospital transfusion service have not been established.
    Methods: We measured the volatility of demand for blood services at a large academic urban general hospital over a 6-month period from July 2019 to December 2019 prior to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic.
    Results: Among 4416 consecutive hours assessed, there were 693 h (16%) with spikes in demand for blood components with a mean (sd) of 3.8 (2.7) spikes/day. Spikes in demand were frequently clustered. The median number of hours between spikes differed by shift (6 h for days; 3 h for evenings; 3 h for nights). The percentage of shift hours with demand spikes also differed (9% day; 19% evening; 18% night). During the study, 32,447 components were distributed to 19,431 patients. Of these, 11,819 components (36%) were distributed during hours of peak demand. Hours with a simultaneous spike in both component demand and patient demand occurred in 5% of hours or approximately once each day.
    Conclusion: Demand for transfusion services was highly volatile in an unpredictable fashion. We provide an approach that could be used to benchmark spikes in demand for blood services at hospitals. Consideration of the frequency, unpredictability, and magnitude of spikes in demand may be relevant for hemovigilance programs and for strategies to determine the laboratory staffing needed for good patient care.

    Abstract Two complex protein defense systems-complement and coagulation-are based on amplifying enzyme cascades triggered by specific local stimuli. Excess systemic activation of either system is pathologic and is normally prevented by a family of regulatory proteins. The 2 systems are ancient biological processes which share a common origin that predates vertebrate evolution. Recent research has uncovered multiple opportunities for cross talk between complement and coagulation including proteins traditionally viewed as coagulation factors that activate and regulate complement, and proteins traditionally seen as part of the complement system that participate in coagulation. Ten examples of cross talk between the 2 systems are described. The mutual engagement of both systems is increasingly recognized to occur in human diseases. Three conditions-paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and the antiphospholipid syndrome-provide examples of the importance of interactions between complement and coagulation in human biology. A better understanding of the mutual engagement of these 2 ancient defense systems is expected to result in improved diagnostics and new treatments for systemic diseases.

    Abstract Although James Blundell is rightly acknowledged as the father of modern transfusion therapy, a review of the events surrounding the initial human-to-human transfusions in the first decades of the 19th century reveals substantial contributions by Blundell's collaborators. Bundell's uncle John Haighton provided substantial support for animal experimentation in the growing field of physiology studies. John Leacock of Barbados provided the essential original experiments that focused the path of investigation on within-species transfusions. London instrument makers such as Laundy and Lloyd provided precision-made syringes without risk of air embolism. Fellow obstetricians Charles Waller and Edward Doubleday became ardent supporters of the new therapy and brought case referrals to Blundell's attention and care. British medical journals, such as The Lancet, provided much needed dissemination of early successes to curious medical practitioners. This 200th anniversary year of the first successful attempts at human-to-human transfusion presents an opportunity to review the failures and successes which occurred during the first days of what would ultimately become a life-saving treatment for millions worldwide.
