Did they do blood transfusions in the 1850s?
Blood transfusions did not become medically feasible until at least World War I when large quantities of wounded soldiers were indeed a stimulus towards this first-aid technique. the noted Black Physician Dr. Charles Drew was principally responsible for implementing the technique of blood transfusions and blood banks. the first commercial Blood Bank opened in either Chicago or Detroit ( I believe Dr. Drew hailed from Chicago) in l937- oddly , the year of the Electra project. Early Blood transfusions used Plasma, and during the War ( World War II) Army Medical technicians sought to come up with some sort of substitute that would stretch the blood supply- like ice in soda- horrible analogy- and what might be inaccurately described as Artificial blood- though blood catalyst or thinner ( like those used with paints) might be more accurate. we might as well include the fact the Jehovah"s Witnesses are religiously opposed to blood transfusions- despite the fact this was unknown in Biblical times- the passages they quote refer to either primitive tribal rites- or race-mixing.
What did Dr Charles Drew invent and what year?
Charles Drew helped expand the knowledge of blood banking throughout his life.

85 year old man with CHF reduced kidney function anemia and edema is given blood transfusions lasic every other week along with anti nusea medication How long can this go on?
Well the lasix, which is a diuretic is probably going to be prescribed indefinitely because of the CHF, reduced kidney function and edema. The blood transfusions may stop once your blood labs improve. It's hard to tell because I don't know if the anemia is a long term condition or a complication. Mostly what they look at is your hemoglobin in your blood labs. If your hemoglobin levels improve, and the anemia gets better then it will be up to your doctor. You can however, be on blood transfusions indefinitely. A lot of the times nausea can be caused by fluid volume overload, which sounds like a complication you have from the CHF, so this medication is indefinite too.
