transfuusioesineistön

Transfuusioesineistö refers to the medical equipment and supplies used in the process of blood transfusion. This includes a variety of items designed to safely collect, store, administer, and monitor blood products. Key components typically found in a transfusion set are a sterile container for the blood or blood product, a drip chamber to regulate the flow rate, an air-detecting filter to prevent air embolism, and a needle or catheter for insertion into the patient's vein.

The primary purpose of transfusion equipment is to ensure the integrity of the blood product, prevent contamination, and deliver it to the patient efficiently and safely. These sets are designed for single use to minimize the risk of infection transmission. Different types of transfusion sets may exist depending on the specific blood product being transfused, such as packed red blood cells, plasma, or platelets, and may include specialized filters to remove leukocytes or other components. Proper handling and assembly of transfusion equipment are critical aspects of patient care in transfusion medicine.
