Blood Transfusion Treatment

  • Description
Description

Blood transfusion treatment is a medical procedure  and it does not require incisions. During this procedure healthy blood is transferred to the patient’s body through IVs to provide stability to the patient. The treatment is generally recommended by doctors to those patients who are suffering with anemia, blood disorders, low platelet counts, surgery, injury and other conditions. The blood typically comes from blood banks and donors.

Blood transfusions are used for numerous health concerns to supplant lost components of the blood. Initial transfusion used whole blood however, these days modern medical practice  commonly uses only components of the blood, such as plasma, red blood cells, platelets and other clotting factors. White blood cells are transfused only in uncommon situations. 

Blood Components 

In addition to entire blood, a transfusion can offer specific blood components or parts such as: 

  • Cryoprecipitate: It aids blood clot. 
  • Plasma: It carries required nutrients to the body.
  • Platelets: Help blood clot.
  • Red Blood Cells: Supply oxygen to the whole body.

  • During Pregnancy
  • Delivery
  • Children born with certain heart diseases 
  • Surgery 
  • Accidents cases
  • Anemia 
  • During cancer therapies 
  • Severe burn cases 

Blood Transfusion Side Effects

  • Allergic reactions
  • Iching 
  • Hives 
  • Fever

  • Bruising around the needled area 

Risks and Complications of Blood Transfusion 

Although, blood transfusion is a safe procedure, it can pose some risks and complications if not taken care properly before the procedure. Hence, medical experts make sure the safety measurements are done before blood transfusion to the patient. Blood banks ask certain questions to the donor about their health, travel history and behaviour. 

Those candidates who successfully pass the blood donor requirement can donate the blood. Once the blood donation is done the donated blood is tested in the lab for further completion. If the lab technicians find the donated blood is not safe then it is thrown away.

Even with safety measurements and precaution there are still chances that certain conditions can be undetected. For instance, your chances of getting certain diseases from a transfusion are: 

  • HIV ( Human immunodeficiency virus)
  • Hepatitis C
  • Hepatitis B 
  • Bacterial Contamination 

Benefits of Blood Transfusion 

Blood is significant for overall health. If one doesn’t have enough blood in the body then he/she can experience life-threatening conditions. Blood and the components of blood contribute to whole body functioning and benefit the body in multiple ways which include: 

  • Red blood cells carry oxygen through the body to the heart and brain. Sufficient amount of oxygen  is very crucial to maintain good health.  
  • Platelets help to avert or control bleeding when low platelet count. 
  • Plasma and cryoprecipitate also aid in preventing or bleeding management . 

Blood Transfusion Treatment Procedure

Blood Type Matching: Initially the doctor matches the blood type. The patient’s blood type must match with the donor blood type, it is essential to avert  immune reactions. 

Preparation: Once the blood is matched it is obtained from a blood bank or a donor after safety screening. 

IV Insertion: The procedure starts with inserting an IV line into the patient’s vein, generally in the arm. 

Transfusion: The blood or blood components are connected to IV line and transfused over 1 to 5 hours, however, it depends on the volume.
