In an emergency, if you need blood, medical personnel will quickly assess your condition and determine the type and amount of blood required. If time allows, they may perform a type and crossmatch to ensure compatibility. However, in critical situations, universal donor blood (type O negative) may be administered immediately. Blood banks and hospitals typically maintain a supply of various blood types to respond rapidly to such emergencies.

How do you detect arterial puncture and if it happens what should you do?

I assume the 'puncture' is accidental. An arterial puncture is characterized by bright red blood (as opposed to darker venous blood). Arterial cuts bleed fast and forceful, often in time with the heartbeat. If that happens, get thee to an emergency room-quick!
