Study Notes
Blood Banking and Transfusion Medicine
- Blood banking refers to the process of collecting, testing, and storing blood and its components for transfusion.
- Transfusion medicine is concerned with the safe and effective use of blood and its components for transfusion, including the collection, testing, and distribution of blood products.
Types of Transfusions
- Allogenic transfusion refers to the transfer of blood or its components from one individual to another, which is the most common type of transfusion.
Blood Component Therapy
- Component therapy involves the separation of whole blood into its components, such as red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, for transfusion to specific patients.
Historical Methods of Blood Transfusion
- The ancient method of bloodletting involved the donor's back being lanced multiple times, and capillary blood was extracted using suction cups.
- In the 17th century, Richard Lower designed an apparatus for performing blood transfusion using multiple syringes and a special cannula for puncturing the vein through the skin.
- The first human-to-human transfusion was performed by Jean-Baptiste Denys in 1667.
- The direct method of transfusion involved collecting blood in a graduated flask and promptly transfusing it to the patient.
Blood Typing and Anticoagulants
- Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood type system in 1901.
- Carl Walter designed the first plastic blood bag in 1949.
- In 1914, Hustin reported the use of sodium citrate as an anticoagulant solution for transfusions.
Blood Collection Standards
- According to AABB standards, the volume of whole blood collected for a 110lb/50kg donor is approximately 450-500 ml.
