Transfusion
The intravenous administration of blood or blood products (PRBC, FFP, platelets, cryoprecipitate) to correct anemia, hemorrhage, or coagulopathy.
Blood must be administered through an 18-gauge or larger IV catheter with normal saline (0.9% NaCl) only — no other fluids or medications. Complete each unit within 4 hours to prevent bacterial growth.
