The original title of the film you're referring to is "Power of the Press" (aka "A Shocking Accident"). It focuses on the Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs against blood transfusions and features Michael Caine as a newspaper editor exploring this controversial issue.

The total amount of blood in each person's body is approximately a gallon and a quarter, or ten pints, or 4.7 liters of blood.

you mean "WHAT is jelly mucous stool in puppies?", yes?

t's always a good idea for any couple to think ahead and prepare for pregnancy, so Mom and baby can be as healthy as possible. When facing the potential for Rh disease, as you two are, it's even more important. You'll probably want to educate yourselves about Rh incompatibility. And in any case, make sure you find a health-care provider who understands Rh disease, and with whom it's easy to communicate.

Rh disease of the newborn arises from incompatibility of the Rh factor between the mother and baby. It's a bit simplistic, but you can think of the Rh factor as a protein that is either present (positive) or absent (negative) on red blood cells. Exact percentages vary with race, but most people are Rh-positive.

A woman with Rh-negative blood has nothing to worry about if their baby is also Rh-negative, and a woman with Rh-positive blood need not worry at all. Problems arise only with Rh-negative mothers and Rh-positive babies. Usually the first pregnancy goes fine. It's a subsequent Rh-positive baby who may be at risk. The mother themselves are in no danger.

Because in The Bible, it states we shouldn't use or eat blood to sustain the body in any way. Some people abstain from eating blood but then accept a blood transfusion. This is wrong because imagine someone was an alcoholic, so his doctor said to not drink it. Would it be okay if he just simply shot it into his veins? No. Also, some people might say that Jehovah's Witnesses don't accept medical treatment. They say this because they don't accept transfusions. But, actually, they only want the best care for themselves and their families so, they don't want to take any chances. Someone might want to give blood but might have AIDS. The persinal will scan him/her but AIDS can't be found unless it's active so what happens when it's not? They can't find it. so they allow him/her to give blood. When someone has a blood tranfusions with that blood, they can get AIDS! Hopefully that answers your question.

An Rh negative recipient may receive Rh positive cellular blood products IF the recipient does not have preexisting Anti-D antibodies present in their plasma, is not a female of child bearing age/capable of becoming pregnant and/or there is an emergent need for blood components (trauma, etc.) and Rh negative products are not available. If Rh positive products are administered to an Rh negative recipient, Rh positive components may continue to be administered until anti-D antibodies are detected on pre-transfusion screening tests. If Rh positive platelets are administered to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin (e.g., RHoGam) may be administered to prevent sensitization in the recipient.

No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.

when you swing your hand, the inertia will cause the blood to flow to your hand, so there will be enough blood to be tested.

It depends on the state/facility. Most LPNs are not allowed to perform blood transfusions, that is a task that cannot be delegated to ancillary staff, or those that are not registered nurses.

normal hemoglobin level is between 12-18 g/dL. elderly patient's may be slightly less.

Type O NEG is the universal red cell donor

AB POS is the universal red cell recipient

Type O is the universal recipient for plasma

AB is the universal donor for plasma

Type O NEG is characterized by the lack of ABO and D antigen on the red cells.

AB POS has every AB/D antigen present on the red cells.

You may find some sort of commonality in there...although it's mostly opposites.

Depends on what type of blood test you take. Regular blood tests do not show AIDS, unless you ask for the facility to look for it. If you have a blood test done for, as an example, being a blood donor, then they will look for AIDS

Bleeding after your cycle is over can be caused by a sudden drop in estrogen that occurs just before ovulation. The drop in hormones can trigger withdrawal bleeding. Spotting tends to be more common in longer cycles.

normal saline is compatible to blood

Blood infusion is a misused term for blood transfusion. This is where a person receives blood through an IV.

If you meant "is it possible to exchange all the blood with any substitute?" - then "no. that's impossible".

But probably you didn't mean that - would be crazy.

If your looking for some substance to substitute blood during a surgery, i.e. to avoid blood transfusion (as it is always a risky thing)... then yes. High tech hospitals are already doing surgeries without real blood. The problem is the quantity that can be substituted by the specific substances... density, osmolarity... (they check those properties).

So... please check some medical information sites or whatever... I know it exists for sure... those hospitals are really modern (and maybe very few). But don't let anyone tell you there wouldn't be any at all... there has been an international special medical convention in Geneva (Switzerland) about surgeries without blood and blood substitutes. Good luck.

Answer: Some of the Methods

Fluids: Ringer's lactate solution, dextran, hydroxyethyl starch, and others are used to maintain blood volume, preventing hypovolemic shock. Some fluids now being tested can transport oxygen.

Drugs: Genetically engineered proteins can stimulate the production of red blood cells (erythropoietin), blood platelets (interleukin-11), and various white blood cells (GM-CSF, G-CSF). Other medications greatly reduce blood loss during surgery (aprotinin, antifibrinolytics) or help to reduce acute bleeding (desmopressin).

Biological hemostats: Collagen and cellulose woven pads are used to stop bleeding by direct application. Fibrin glues and sealants can plug puncture wounds or cover large areas of bleeding tissue.

Blood salvage: Salvaging machines recover blood that is lost during surgery or trauma. The blood is cleansed and can be returned to the patient in a closed circuit. In extreme cases, liters of blood can be recovered using such a system.

Surgical tools: Some devices cut and seal blood vessels simultaneously. Other devices can seal bleeding on large areas of tissue. Laparoscopic and minimally invasive instruments allow surgeries to be performed without the blood loss associated with large incisions.

Surgical techniques: Thorough operative planning, including consultation with experienced clinicians, helps the surgical team to avoid complications. Prompt action to stop bleeding is essential. Delays greater than 24 hours can greatly increase patient mortality. Dividing large surgeries into several smaller ones decreases total blood loss.

You can find much information on Jehovah's Witnesses official website. Working with Jehovah's Witnesses, many hospitals all over the country have developed a Bloodless Medicine Program and Department. Englewood Hospital snd Medical Center, Englewood, New Jersey is the frontrunner.

The blood type table is most often used when determining which types of blood are compatible with others. This is extremely important when in regards to blood transfusions.
