Not generally. The point of a transfusion is to replace lost blood, so removing blood as you put it in from the transfusion defeats the purpose. Sometimes before surgery, you will undergo "saving" blood, that is before surgery some of your blood is drawn and saved, so it can be put back in after surgery. (This is done weeks in advance, so your body has time to get its blood levels back to normal.) Student Doctor
