Bearing With Young Blood Transfusion

By Marie Stevens


For the majority of its time in existence, human beings were nomadic hunter gatherers. But eventually, society settled down. Many of these early settlements would expand, becoming the seeds from which the great civilizations of antiquity would bloom. Eventually, these great civilizations fell, replaced by modern nation states. In these nation states, people built great cities. First, they used concrete and rock. Then, they fashioned their skyscrapers out of glass and chrome, shining beacons to all the outlying areas. But their cities were not the only thing to change. In twentieth century, as the development of technology hit light speed, so too did medical science. It used to be that when transfusing blood, people were all cavalier about it, just using whatever was on hand. Of course, the young blood transfusion was eventually perfected.

In essence, a blood transfusion is when body fluid from a person is taken out of them. This is then injected into another person. However, both people will have to have to same blood type, otherwise the body of the receiver may reject the donation.

People need blood. Ideally, it never leaves the body. Unfortunately, in some cases, people lose a lot of their life liquid, either through internal or external bleeding. As such, when they lose too much, they are going to need a donation to tide them over until their body produces more of it.

To do a transfusion, a healthy donor must be found. Once one has been located, they are screened. Once that is done, the body fluid is pumped out of their bodies before being inserted into the physique of the receiver.

To the majority of the general populace, the letters A, O, AB, and B are just that. Letters. Components that make up words. To people in the medical community however, those letters represent different classification of lifeblood.

There are such things as universal recipients. Conversely, there are also universal donors. Despite AB positive being the second rarest type in the world, people with such type are capable of receiving from any donor, as they are the universal recipient. O negative is the second most common type in the world as is the universal donor, meaning red cells of this type can be received by anyone.

Before the penetration and the pumping can commence, the donor has to be screened. This involves a test to determine the specific type if the person donating is not already aware of it. This involves an interview in which the person may be asked about their sexual history.

A person may be disqualified from donating if they are sick. They can also be disqualified if they have donated very recently. If a person has some kind of disease, like HIV or AIDS, then they will absolutely not be allowed to give blood for fear of spreading their infection.

Bodies are a weird thing. Every part is needed in order to function. But sometimes, people need a small hand in making sure they have all the parts needed.
