what is the most common transfused component of blood?
red blood cells
platelet transfusion is most frequently used to correct unusually low platelet counts, either to prevent spontaneous bleeding (typically at counts below 10×10/l) or in anticipation of medical procedures that will necessarily involve some bleeding. for example, in patients undergoing surgery, a level below 50×10/l is associated with abnormal surgical bleeding, and regional anaesthetic procedures such as epidurals are avoided for levels below 80×10/l. platelets may also be transfused when the platelet count is normal but the platelets are dysfunctional, such as when an individual is taking aspirin or clopidogrel. finally, platelets may be transfused as part of a massive transfusion protocol, in which the three major blood components (red blood cells, plasma, and platelets) are transfused to address severe hemorrhage. platelet transfusion is contraindicated in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (ttp), as it fuels the coagulopathy.

section::::types of blood transfused.









































whole blood or blood with rbc, is transfused to patients with anaemia/iron deficiency. it also helps to improve the oxygen saturation in blood.









































it can be stored at 1.0 °c-6.0 °c for 35–45 days.









































platelet transfusion,









































is transfused to those who suffer from low platelet count.









































this can be stored at room temperature for 5–7 days. the donation of plasma is called (plasmapheresis).plasma transfusion is indicated to patients with liver failure, severe infections or serious burns.









































fresh frozen plasma can be stored at a very low temperature of -25 °c for up to 12 months.
