It depends on what you consider to be a "blood transfusion"?
Type "O" recipient may receive type "O" red cells and whole blood (respective for Rh), any type Platelets (respective for Rh), and any type fresh frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate (Rh is of no concern with acellular products).
A person with type A blood can receive transfusions of either type A or type O blood. Neither of these two blood types has B markers. Thus they would not be recognized as foreign by the clumping proteins in type A blood.
No. Type O is the universal doner, not the receiver (AB). If it was the other way around, however, the transfusion would be a success. Otherwise, the type A blood will clot, killing the type o person.
O type blood category is a universal donor. It can only receive blood from O category only and cannot take from other categories. so you cannot give to O category having A category blood.
yes, blood type O is universal. it is for that reason that is in such high demand.
The blood group B consists of antigen-a so if blood group B is donated to blood group A then the whole body blood of the person a will destroyed.
No, to donate blood safely the donor and the recipient have to have the same blood type.
No, O can only get O but is the universal donor, but A can receive A or O, and B can receive B and O, AB can take all.
No. Not for red cell transfusion.
No. Not for red cell transfusion.
Type A
A person who can receive any blood type during a blood transfusion.
No, you can only receive your blood type when you get a blood transfusion.
B and O
It is because o blood group has antibody A an B
No. Persons with type O blood can only receive type O blood.
A person with type B blood can only receive type B or O because it is said to be compatible and will not clump.
Nothing. O blood is the universal donor, which means any blood type can get O blood in a transfusion. Although this is true blood type O can only receive blood type O. This is because Blood type O has no antigens but has both antibodies A and B.
No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.
because in blood group A antigen A is present while not in O so it will destroy the characteristic of blood group O.
Generally the only time blood type compatability is important is during a blood transfusion. At this time it is essential that the recipient be given a blood type they are compatible with to avoid a fatal reaction. A person with AB blood can receive blood for anyone. A person with A blood can only receive blood from someone who has either A or O blood. Similarly a type B person can receive only from type B or O. A type O person can donate to any bloodtype, but can only receive from another type O person.
