Last time I gave blood, they take 470mls of blood, plus four test tubes partially filled as samples for testing. Some tests would be to check I don't have any disease, others for lab tests I suppose.

∙ 11y agoThe answer depends on the clinical situation. In examples of extreme trauma, there are many documented cases where hundreds of blood components have been transfused during the course of treatment until the bleeding is finally controlled. In these cases, clotting factors must be monitored to prevent dilutional coagulation deficiencies and patient temperature maintained following the infusion of large volumes of cold blood products.
In non-hemorrhaging patients, the volume of transfused produced must be monitored to prevent non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. When total transfused products approach one total blood volume, then the term "massive transfusion" is used.

Do you have to replace blood if you receive a blood transfusion?
If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.
