Giving extra blood via a drip into a vein. Can be own blood collected earlier and stored, or more usually blood donated by someone else.
the transfer of blood or blood products from one person (donor) into another person's bloodstream (recipient). Most times, it is done to replace blood cells or blood products lost through severe bleeding. Blood can be given from two sources, your own blood (autologous blood) or from someone else (donor blood).
The administration of blood ( red blood cells), supplied by the blood bank, through an intravenous line to correct anemia. Used to improve the oxygen carrying capability of the blood. Other blood products can be transfused as well (See also: platelets, plasma). All blood products are supplied by the blood bank.
the introduction of blood or blood plasma into a vein or artery
whole blood given intravenously (into a vein) to support the circulation
the process of transferring blood from one person (donor) to another person (recipient). This may be done as a life saving technique for someone who has lost a lot of blood from a surgery or accident.
The transfer of blood or any of its parts to a person who has lost blood due to an injury, disease, or operation.
The infusion of red blood cells or platelets into your blood stream to replace blood loss, to support low blood counts due to chemotherapy or to correct anemia.
Whole or packed red blood cells to alleviate anemia and provide patients with oxygen carrying capacity in the form of red cells in circulation.
the infusion of blood or blood components into an individual for the treatment of a medical condition (e.g., anemia, loss of blood due to injury). Transfused blood may be homologous (from a donor) or autologous (previously stored blood from the recipient).
The process of injecting additional blood into a sick person. Usually the blood is donated by a healthy person. Sometimes a person will have some of their own blood drawn and stored before having surgery and re-injected after surgery. This is called an autologous blood transfusion.
A procedure to replace blood cells (red or white), platelets, or plasma protein destroyed by cancer treatment with high doses of anticancer drugs or radiation; blood transfusions can result in complications such as fever, allergic disorders, infections, and suppression of the immune system in about 20 percent of cases; medications that stimulate red blood cell production offer a safer alternative.
In allogeneic blood transfusion, the blood is donated by another person; in autologous blood transfusion, the patient's own blood is used.
The transfer of blood or blood components from one person (the donor) into the bloodstream of another person (the recipient). This may be done as a lifesaving maneuver to replace blood cells or blood products lost through bleeding. Transfusion of your own blood (autologous) is the safest method but requires advance planning and not all patients are eligible. Directed donor blood allows the patient to receive blood from known donors. Volunteer donor blood is usually most readily available and, when properly tested has a low incidence of adverse events. Blood conserving techniques are an important aspect of limiting transfusion requirements. See the entire definition of Blood transfusion
transfer of blood or part of the blood (such as red cells) from one person to another Back to previous page
The process of infusing blood products into a patient to raise the individuals concentration of red blood cells . Blood is typed (A, B, O or AB ) and crossmatched ( mixed together to see if its compatible ) prior to transfusion .
The transfer of blood from a healthy donor into the bloodstream of somebody who has lost blood or has a blood disorder.

A blood transfusion involves transferring blood into a person using a tube that goes directly into a vein in the arm.
Blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood or blood-based products from one person into the circulatory system of another. Blood transfusions can be life-saving in some situations, such as massive blood loss due to trauma, or can be used to replace blood lost during surgery. Blood transfusions may also be used to treat a severe anaemia or thrombocytopenia caused by a blood disease.
