Transfuse over a 2-4 hours..
It depends on the scenario, PRBC infusers can infuse 1 unit in 5 minutes in trauma settings with acute blood loss while people who have CHF and are at risk volume overload it can take as long as 2-3 or more hours to infuse 1 unit.
If a noticeable clot is found in a red blood cell (RBC) unit, the unit should not be transfused. It should be immediately reported to the blood bank or transfusion service for further evaluation. The unit may need to be discarded, and further investigation should be conducted to determine the cause of the clot, ensuring the safety of future blood products. Additionally, the patient should be monitored for any potential complications.
i have the same question and not gating any answer so any one please let me know.....
A good rule of thumb is 1 Unit of PRBCs will raise an adult's Hgb by 1 g/dl or their Hct by 2~3%. For pediatrics, a 10 ml/kg transfusion will increase Hgb by 3 g/dl and Hct by 10% These are approximations, of course, and depend on the size of the patient, the exact Hct of the transfused blood, and red blood cell survival after transfusion. In general, a unit of PRBCs is ~300 ml and has a Hct of 70% Ref: "Clinical Anesthesiology," E. Morgan, M. Mikhail, M. Murray. 4th ed.
it costs $300 to $1000 to produce a unit of artificial blood It costs $150 to $200 to produce a unit of transfused blood..It's not free, it has to go through necessary screening protocals before using it.

The refrigerant (freon) in any air conditioner should last the life of the unit. If not, you have a leak.
How long does a fuser unit last in the copier, if you have a large number of copies to be run

Hemoglobin molcules account for more than 95 percent of Erythrocyte's proteins. There are approx. 280 million moleules of hemoglobin in each RBC. hemoglobin also carries about 23 percent of carbon dioxide transposted in the blood.. And the bindings of amino acids to carbon dioxide or globin subunits is reversable
