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).

∙ 13y agoA 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.

∙ 10y agoNo. 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.

∙ 15y agoO 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.

When a person with B blood receives O blood in a transfusion?
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.
Can a person with blood type b receive a transfusion of blood types b and ab?
No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.
Why can't a person with type o blood receive a transfusion of type a blood?
because in blood group A antigen A is present while not in O so it will destroy the characteristic of blood group O.
What types of blood types are compatible?
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.
