<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. The blood's components, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, clotting factors, and platelets, are now frequently used in transfusions instead of the whole blood that was used in earlier times.

Hemoglobin is a component of red blood cells (RBC), which carry oxygen to the body's cells. Although they are not frequently utilized in transfusions, white blood cells are an essential component of the immune system and help the body fight illnesses. The "yellowish" liquid component of blood called plasma serves as a lubricant and is made up of essential nutrients and proteins for the body's overall health.
