Background: Blood transfusion is the transfer of whole blood or blood components (red blood cells only or blood plasma only) into the bloodstream directly or into the bone marrow. Blood transfusion is carried out between two identical blood groups only, which otherwise (incompatible blood transfusion) results in agglutination or clumping of the blood leading to haemolysis of RBC and releasing the haemoglobin to the blood plasma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
