What is the use of blood transfusion?

Answer 1

Blood transfusion replenishes the deficiency of blood in the victim in case of accidents or some diseases that lead to excessive loss of blood from the body that can be fatal to the life of the patients. thus it acts as a life saver BUT it is very important to check compatibility of the blood groups as well as for infections in the blood of the donor and the recipient before opting for a blood transfusion or else the ritual will do just the opposite of saving life by probably taking the life of the recipient.

Answer 2

Transfusions are used to treat blood loss or to supply bloodcomponents that your body cannot make for itself. Blood loss may result from injury, major surgery, or diseases that destroy red blood cells or platelets, two important blood components. If too much blood is lost (low blood volume), your body cannot maintain a proper blood pressure, which results in shock.

Answer 3

Very effective - Most transfusions are done to replace blood lost during operations or accidents etc. The purpose is to restore the patients blood pressure back to normal levels once the reason for the loss has been addressed. Many transfusions to restore blood pressure are done with plasma rather than 'whole blood'.

Answer 4

On the average three people are saved to one person who gives blood. So the ratio is 1:3... I donate every 2months.

Answer 5

Each blood donation can save three lives, because plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells can be extracted from one donation of blood and given to a patient in need.
