History Flashcards
Received blood from three individuals (hemophilia)
Pope Innocent VII (1492)
discovered blood circulation; afterward, the earliest known blood transfusion was
attempted
William Harvey (1628)
Performed the first animal-to-human transfusion on June 15, 1667, by bloodletting a 16-year-old boy and
exchanging three (3) ounces of boy’s blood for nine (9) ounces of lamb’s blood
Jean Baptiste Denis (June 15, 1667)
who received calf’s blood and then suffered a transfusion reaction but
survived and became well
Anton Mauroy
first recorded successful blood transfusion occurs in England; keeps dogs alive by blood
transfusion from other dogs
Richard Lower (1665)
Transfused sheep blood to a student
Richard Lower (1667)
performed the first human-to-human transfusion in 1795 (not confirmed)
Philip Syng Physick (1795)
subsequently performed and published a set of animal experiments that proved that the
donor and recipient must be of the same species
John Henry Leacock
Successfully transfused a woman dying from postpartum hemorrhage with blood from her husband
James Blundell (August 1825)
he performed ten transfusions, five of which proved beneficial to his patients, and
published these results
James Blundell (bet 1825 and 1830)
first successful whole blood transfusion to treat hemophilia in 1840
Samuel Armstrong Lane (1840)
first surgery using direct blood transfusion
George Washington Crile (1906)
Observed red cell lysis in the blood of a woman who died after receiving a transfusion of sheep blood
Emil Ponfick
Incompatible transfusions were associated with hemorrhage and congestion of the kidneys, lungs, and liver
Emil Ponfick
Incompatible transfusions were associated with hemorrhage and congestion of the kidneys, lungs, and liver
Emil Ponfick
observation that human red cells would lyse when mixed in vitro with the sera of other animals
Leonard Landois
Set the stage for the study of the immunologic basis of blood incompatibility
Leonard Landois
Discovered the ABO blood group and explained the serious reactions that occur in humans as a result of
incompatible transfusion
Karl Landsteiner (1901)
Noticed that human blood mixed in test tubes with other specimens of human blood sometimes resulted in
agglutination
Karl Landsteiner (1901)
By incubating red cells from some individuals with serum from others, he identified agglutination patterns,
leading to the initial identification of three blood groups: A, B, and C
Karl Landsteiner (1901)
Discovered blood type AB
Alfred von Descatello and Adriano Sturlie (1902)
Discovered subgroups of A
von Dungern/Dungren and Hirszfeld (1911)
Discovered the Rh blood group
Karl Landsteiner, Alex Wiener, Philip Levine, and Rufus Stetson(1939/40)
Created the impellor and gravitator for blood collection and transfusion.
