▪The transfer of blood or blood components from one person (the donor)
into the bloodstream of another person (the recipient)
Blood Typing
Cross Matching
Many times, blood transfusion might not be without hazards, so the risk should be
weighed out against benefit.
The dictum is - TO USE BLOOD PRODUCTS ONLY WHEN NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS LEFT

2. In preparation for a scheduled surgery, a patient visits the hospital lab for a blood draw. The technician collects a blood
sample and performs a test to determine its type. She places a sample of the patient’s blood in two wells. To the first well
she adds anti-A antibody. To the second she adds anti-B antibody. Both samples visibly agglutinate. Has the technician made
an error, or is this a normal response? If normal, what blood type does this indicate?
