By searching Medline by service line (i.e. cardiac, total joint replacement, critical care etc.) and blood transfusion or bloodless you will find many abstracts that tell the story. They will focus on increased length of stay, higher costs, immunosuppression, human error/wrong blood transfused etc.

Some of the information you seek is located under the Medical Abstracts forum on this site.
