Blood transfusion

Blood transfusion is a medical procedure in which donor blood or its components (red blood cells, platelets, plasma) are transfused into the recipient through an intravenous infusion. The purpose of blood transfusion is to replenish the volume of circulating blood during blood loss or to replace a deficiency of any blood component.

Indications for blood transfusion are: acute blood loss due to injuries, operations, bleeding; chronic anemia due to blood diseases; deficiency of blood cells.

The transfusion procedure includes the selection of donor blood by group and Rh factor, taking blood from the donor, dividing it into components, pre-transfusion tests, and direct blood transfusion to the recipient.

Possible complications of transfusion: allergic reactions, hemolytic reactions, infection (hepatitis, HIV, etc.). To prevent them, careful selection and examination of donor blood is carried out.

Thus, blood transfusion is an important medical procedure that can save the patient’s life in case of massive blood loss or deficiency of blood components. If all rules and precautions are followed, the risk of complications is minimal.

Blood transfusion is the process of transfusing blood from one person to another. This treatment method is used in medicine to treat various diseases such as anemia, hemolytic disease of the newborn, thrombocytopenia and others.

Blood transfusion is performed by taking blood from a donor and transfusing it into a recipient. Before a blood transfusion, a series of tests must be performed to ensure the compatibility of the donor and recipient's blood.

One of the main advantages of blood transfusion is the rapid restoration of hemoglobin levels in the patient's blood. However, this treatment method also has its drawbacks. First, a blood transfusion can lead to an allergic reaction in the recipient to foreign blood. Secondly, transfusion can cause complications such as thrombosis and hemolytic shock.

In general, blood transfusion is an effective treatment, but its use should be strictly controlled and only used when absolutely necessary.
