Description
Summary:The possibility of automating two-stage blood transfusion (including biological testing and transfusion proper) was evaluated. The calculated and actual transfusion rates were compared. Fifteen red blood cell units were transfused. Transfusion of red blood cells using an infusion pump, standard blood transfusion lines, and warming devices allows: a) eliminating the subjective factor in selecting and implementing the transfusion mode; b) automating both preliminary biological testing of blood and transfusion proper; c) warming the transfusion medium before transfusing it into the donor’s vein; d) preventing hemolysis during transfusion.
