<h3>What is blood transfusion?</h3>

Intravenously putting blood components into a person's circulation is known as a blood transfusion. For a number of medical disorders, transfusions are performed to replenish lost blood components.

Patients who have sustained major injuries in vehicle accidents or natural disasters are treated with blood transfusions. Blood transfusions are frequently given to people who have a condition like leukemia or kidney disease, both of which can induce anemia.

Through a little tube inserted into a vein in your arm, donated blood is given to you as part of a standard medical operation known as a blood transfusion. Blood lost during surgery or an accident can be replaced with the aid of this potentially life-saving technique.
