The patient's blood is slowly withdrawn (usually about 5 to 20 mL at a time, depending on the patient's size and the severity of illness). An equal amount of fresh, prewarmed blood or plasma flows into the patient's body. This cycle is repeated until the correct volume of blood has been replaced.
The volume is dependent on the size of the patient, therefore the units of blood required are variable.

During a blood transfusion is the patients old blood removed from the body?
Not generally. The point of a transfusion is to replace lost blood, so removing blood as you put it in from the transfusion defeats the purpose. Sometimes before surgery, you will undergo "saving" blood, that is before surgery some of your blood is drawn and saved, so it can be put back in after surgery. (This is done weeks in advance, so your body has time to get its blood levels back to normal.) Student Doctor
