Blood transfusion: The transfer of blood or blood components from one person (the donor) into the bloodstream of another person (the recipient). Blood transfusion may be done as a lifesaving maneuver to replace blood cells or blood products lost through bleeding or due to depression of the bone marrow. Transfusion of one's own blood (autologous) is the safest method but requires advanced planning, and not all patients are eligible for it. Directed donor blood allows the patient to receive blood from known donors.
During the Procedure. The blood transfusion procedure begins when an intravenous (IV) line is placed onto the patientâs body. It is through the IV that the patient will begin to receive the new blood. Depending on the amount of blood, a simple blood transfusion can take between 1-4 hours. After the Procedure. Following the completion of the blood transfusion, the patientâs vital signs are checked and the IV is removed.
