Vértranszfúziót

Vértranszfúziót refers to the medical procedure of transfusing blood or blood components from one person (the donor) into another person's bloodstream (the recipient). This life-saving intervention is performed when a patient has lost a significant amount of blood due to surgery, trauma, or childbirth, or when their body is not producing enough of certain blood components.

The process involves carefully matching the donor's blood type with the recipient's to prevent an immune reaction. Blood is typically donated voluntarily and stored under controlled conditions in blood banks. Before transfusion, the donated blood undergoes rigorous testing for infectious diseases.

There are various types of blood transfusions. A whole blood transfusion involves administering all components of the blood. More commonly, specific components are transfused, such as red blood cells to treat anemia, platelets to aid in clotting, or plasma to replace essential proteins.

Complications, though rare, can occur. These include allergic reactions, fever, or in more severe cases, a hemolytic transfusion reaction where the recipient's immune system attacks the transfused red blood cells. Strict protocols and close monitoring by healthcare professionals are in place to minimize these risks. Vértranszfúziót remains a cornerstone of modern medicine, enabling the treatment of numerous critical conditions.
