If type O blood is transfused into a person with blood type B what will need to be done to the blood?

Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.

What are differences between blood types?
Blood type A+ positive cand donate to people that have types A+ or AB+. They can receiver blood from Apos & neg, O pos & neg. Type O+ can give to O+ A+ B+ AB+ & only receive from O pos & neg Type B+ can give to B+ and AB+ and receive from B pos & neg; O pos & neg. Type AB+ can give only to AB+ and receive from EVERYONE A- (neg) can give to A pos & neg; AB pos & neg & receive from A neg & O neg. O- (neg) can give to EVERYONE and receive only O - (neg) B- (neg) can give to B pos & neg; AB pos & neg and receive from B- and O- AB- can give to only AB neg & pos and receive from AB-, A-, B-,O- **Type O blood is the universal blood type and is the only blood type that can be transfused to patients with other blood types **There is always a need for Type O donors because their blood may be transfused to a person of any blood type in an emergency
When you check Sirolimus levels do you need to be fasting?
No, they don't need to be fasting. However they need to be done before you've had your dosage of Sirolimus for the day (since taking Sirolimus on the day of the blood test, before the blood, test messes up the test).
Why is blood typing clinically important for pregnant woman?
so that if the women looses too much blood during birth and labour, blood fusion is able to take place, (the right blood type being placed). It is important to know the blood type before hand (during pregnancy) so that it won't be too late after birth.
What blood specimens need to be chilled?
Blood gases
If neither parents are O negative then how can a sibling be O negative?
Blood Type A is dominant to Blood Type O. That means that a person with genotype AA and a person with genotype AO will both have Type A Blood, while a person with genotype OO will have Type O Blood. If both parents have blood type AO, they will both have Type A Blood, but their child will have a 25% chance of having Type O blood. The blood type ratio of their children will be 25% AA (Type A Blood), 50% AO (Type A Blood), and 25% OO (Type O Blood).
Why do blood types need to match in a transplant?
Of course, the person dies if the blood transfused into him is incompatible with his system.
What if a b negative person is transfused with b positive blood?
If you have B-positive blood, you can get B-positive or B-negative blood. But if you have B-negative blood, you will need only get B-negative blood. B-negative blood is used for emergencies when there's no time to test a person's B type. I do not recommend transfusions at all. They have side effects and risk no matter what doctors are telling you. It has nothing to do with religion beliefs or something. Even, thought, I am religion. Anyway.. Here: The doctors can make a mistake and give you a risk of infections. For me, I had lost of blood when I were young -- between 10 to 14 years old -- I dont remember. I told mom that I refused this transfused and she agreed. See ? I am alive and well in 30's. No blood transfused need. All I need is rest plenty and eats lots as well as few sugars such as cookies and fruits. Its helped a lot. Hope it helps. Be wise! Dont listen to the doctors. There are many new viruses awaiting thanks to blood transfusions.. Its not natural!
How do you find out if your a blood type negative or blood type positive?
Almost 40% of the population has O+ bloodPatients with Type O blood must receive Type O bloodAbout half of all blood ordered by hospitals in our area is Type OType O blood is the universal blood type and is the only blood type that can be transfused to patients with other blood typesOnly about 7% of all people have Type O negative bloodType O negative blood is the preferred type for accident victims and babies needing exchange transfusionsThere is always a need for Type O donors because their blood may be transfused to a person of any blood type in an emergency
Can o positive receive and donate blood to other groups?
First, you must define what you consider to be "blood". Whole blood is rarely used in modern transfusion medicine. Instead, whole blood is separated into components, primarily red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate. Type O, Rh positive whole blood may be transfused to a type O, Rh positive recipient. Type O, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient. Type O, Rh positive platelets may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient (plasma reduction may be done if the physician is concerned about incompatible plasma in the product). Type O Plasma may only be transfused to a type O recipient (Rh is of no concern). Type O Cryoprecipitate may be transfused to any ABO recipient (Rh is of no concern). In cases where Rh negative cellular components are not available, ABO compatible, Rh positive cellular products may be transfused to an Rh negative recipient IF.... 1) The patient does not have anti-D antibodies present in their plasma 2) The patient is not a female of child bearing age/capability 3) There is an emergent need for the blood products If Rh positive platelets are transfused to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin may be administered to prevent sensitization.
What is the importance of blood banks?
As to the importance of blood, blood banks were established to aid people in need of transfusion, people in state of blood loss', blood banks org. staff including medical laboratory scientist are the ones to secure proper handling, collection, storage and of course precise and accurate way of transfusing into the recipient.
Why would a patient need IVT?
A patient would need Intravenous Therapy, if they could not take the medication by mouth, or if the medication was unavailable by mouth - such as a medication that needs to be continuously administered over several hours. Fluids, glucose, certain nutrients, and blood are other things that can be administered through IV.A patient would need an Intravenous Transfusion if, due too blood loss or disease, their blood count was extremely low. Blood is not necessarily transfused whole, so it depends upon which parts the patient needs: red blood cells, plasma, or platelets. The transfusion of white blood cells is rare.Blood loss includes external and internal injury, whether a severe laceration or a bleeding ulcer. Intravenous Transfusion often occurs during surgery, and sometimes occurs during treatment for cancer because of the affect chemotherapy has on the body.Anemia is often a cause for blood transfusion.Plasma is transfused to ensure that a person has the proper balance to clot blood properly, whether due to medication imbalance or disease, particularly in diseases where the transfusing of platelets is prohibited.
What happens if type A blood was transfused into a person with type B blood?
It would actually be very harmful, and considering the already weakened state of someone who is in need of a transfusion, they could die. This is because his or her immune system would consider the Type B blood as an invader, and would try kill it. The Type B blood would also contain immune system cells, which would think that the Type A blood was invading it, so the Type B blood would kill the Type A blood cells. Thus, not only would the person not receive any benefit, but they would lose even more of their blood cells.

What blood type does a person need to be a donor?
you don't need to be a specific blood type I don't think, they'll take whatever as there will be people with the same blood type as you somewhere in the UK who might need it :)
What is the recipient blood type of blood type a?
Type A, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to a Type A or AB, Rh+ recipient. Type A, Rh negative red cells may be transfused to Type A or AB, Rh + or - recipients. In emergency situations where Rh negative red cells are not available AND the patient does not have anti-D antibodies, Rh + red cells may be given (respecting ABO compatibility). Rh negative units must be used once anti-D is identified in the recipient. All Medical Answers need to be confirmed and re-confirmed.

Your dog has a big bubble on her ear how can you take care of it?
If this bubble is full of blood, you need to lance this and drain the blood. This is best done by a vet.
