Transfusion medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the study and application of procedures related to the transfusion of blood and its components, with the aim of treating and preventing diseases.
Transfusion medicine offers services such as blood donation, blood and blood component transfusion, apheresis therapy, immunohematology, and pediatric transfusion medicine, among others.
Anyone over the age of 18 who is in good health, weighs more than 50 kg, and meets the blood bank’s requirements may be eligible to donate blood.
The duration of a blood transfusion can vary depending on the amount of blood transfused and the patient's needs, but it generally ranges from 1 to 4 hours.
Although the risks are minimal, there are potential complications such as allergic reactions, bloodborne infections, fluid overload, and immune reactions. However, blood banks take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of transfusions.
