Blood transfusion is that the process of transferring blood or blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to exchange lost components of the blood. Early transfusions used blood , but modern practice commonly uses only components of the blood, like red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, and platelets. Red blood cells (RBC) contain hemoglobin, and provide the cells of the body with oxygen. White blood cells aren't commonly used during transfusion, but are a part of the system, and fight infections. Plasma is that the liquid a part of the blood, which acts as a buffer, and contains proteins and important substances needed for the body's overall health. Platelets are involved in blood coagulation, preventing the body from bleeding. Before these components were known, doctors believed that blood was homogenous. due to this, many patients died because incompatible blood was transferred to them. red blood corpuscle transfusion was considered when the hemoglobin level fell below 10 g/dL or hematocrit fell below 30%. Because each unit of blood given carries risks, a trigger level less than that, at 7 to eight g/dL, is now usually used, because it has been shown to possess better patient outcomes. The administration of one unit of blood is that the standard for hospitalized people that aren't bleeding, with this treatment followed with re-assessment and consideration of symptoms and hemoglobin concentration. Patients with poor oxygen saturation may have more blood.
