What To Expect From Blood Transfusion
A blood transfusion can be done at a clinic or a hospital. Some visiting nurses can also perform this procedure at home. Before starting, you need to complete a blood test to find out your blood type. During a transfusion, a small needle will be put into your vein, often in the hand or arm. The blood is then passed through a plastic tube into your vein through a needle. A healthcare provider needs to monitor important signs carefully during this process. [7]
