Blood transfusion
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blood transfusion is a medical term. It describes a procedure used to transfer blood (or some products based on blood) from the circulatory system of one human to that of another human being. Blood transfusions can save the life of a person, if that person has suffered from a severe blood loss. This blood loss can occur due to an injury, a trauma or if that person had a medical operation performed. Blood transfusions can also be applied as a treatment to certain diseases of the blood (like Anaemia, for example).
Not all people are able to donate blood to all other people. Blood types prevent that.
