First, you must define what you consider to be "blood".

Whole blood is rarely used in modern transfusion medicine. Instead, whole blood is separated into components, primarily red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma and cryoprecipitate.

Type O, Rh positive whole blood may be transfused to a type O, Rh positive recipient.

Type O, Rh positive red cells may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient.

Type O, Rh positive platelets may be transfused to any ABO, Rh positive recipient (plasma reduction may be done if the physician is concerned about incompatible plasma in the product).

Type O Plasma may only be transfused to a type O recipient (Rh is of no concern).

Type O Cryoprecipitate may be transfused to any ABO recipient (Rh is of no concern).

In cases where Rh negative cellular components are not available, ABO compatible, Rh positive cellular products may be transfused to an Rh negative recipient IF....

1) The patient does not have anti-D antibodies present in their plasma

2) The patient is not a female of child bearing age/capability

3) There is an emergent need for the blood products

If Rh positive platelets are transfused to an Rh negative recipient, Rh Immune Globulin may be administered to prevent sensitization.
