Blood transfusion (otherwise it is called blood transfusion) is carried out to patients in order to restore its volume, in the event of a lack of platelets, erythrocytes, as well as in case of a lack of blood plasma or a violation of its coagulability.

In addition, blood transfusion includes transfusion of blood substitutes and solutions.

Blood transfusion is indicated with low hemoglobin (less than 70 g / dl), as well as with a reduced level of blood oxygen saturation. In many tumors, for example, in melanoma, the destruction of red cell sprouts occurs, therefore, for chemotherapy, the patient needs to undergo blood transfusion.

In our medical module, transfusion is carried out in case of impaired hematopoiesis, with pronounced edema and to prevent DIC. All our actions are dictated only by medical indications.

The volume of erythromass, thrombomass or frozen plasma is determined only by a doctor, strictly based on medical indications. All patients who have repeatedly undergone transfusion undergo a laboratory gel test, with the help of which blood products are selected.

With large tumors, leukocyte inhibition occurs, so patients are prescribed medications that will stimulate the growth of white blood cells.. As a rule, leukocytes are inhibited in aplastic diseases.

How does blood transfusion take place?.

Patients usually have catheters or infusion ports used to administer drugs for chemotherapy. The drug is injected through the catheter using the dropper method.

A prerequisite before hospitalization of the patient is compliance with the patient's blood group, Rh factor and control of Kell antigens in order to avoid rejection and death of transplanted erythrocytes.

It is also very important to conduct a blood compatibility test between the donor and the patient..

In our center, specialists carry out daily blood transfusion therapy to patients. First, a small dose of the drug is injected, after which it waits for a while, during which the doctor observes the body's reaction. If no negative reaction is found, then the transfusion is continued.

Blood transfusion therapy can be carried out almost daily, depending on the severity of the disease.
