Department of Transfusiology

The primary activity of the Department of Transfusiology is ensuring therapy for patients using blood and its components. This includes providing timely hematotransfusion support for patients experiencing intraoperative blood loss, bleeding, post-hemorrhagic anemia, complications following cancer treatment, and anemia.

For this purpose, blood and its components are obtained from blood banks and stored under appropriate conditions. The Department of Transfusiology is equipped with a blood storage refrigerator from the Hitachi company and a freezer from the Sanyo company for storing freshly frozen plasma. Platelet mass is stored using a digital orbital shaker with a BK-T4KZ centrifuge.

Before blood transfusion, the blood type and Rh factor of the donor and recipient are determined according to the ABO system using standard hemagglutination sera and standard monoclonal antibody reagents. Individual compatibility and biological samples are tested, and during and after the transfusion, the patient is closely monitored for the timely detection of any transfusion-related complications, with necessary support provided as needed.
