Yes, it is recommended to warm the blood before transfusing someone with cold agglutinin. Cold agglutinins are antibodies that can cause the red blood cells to clump together in cold temperatures, potentially leading to blockages in blood vessels if transfused without being warmed. Warming the blood helps prevent this complication and ensures a successful transfusion.
