Pope Innocent VII
Earliest documented transfusion was done by _______.
Richard Lower
The first human blood transfusion was performed by ________.
Philip Syng Physick (1795)
It is the principal obstacle to overcome in blood banking.
Clotting
He discovered the circulation of blood. Shortly afterward, the earliest known blood transfusion is attempted
William Harvey (1628)
He kept dogs alive by transfusion of blood from other dogs
Richard Lower (1665)
They separately report successful transfusions from lambs to humans. Within 10 years, transfusing the blood of animals to humans eventually becomes prohibited by law because of reactions.
Jean-Baptiste Denys and Richard Lower (1667)
He performed the first human blood transfusion, although he does not publish this information.
Philip Syng Physick (1795)
He performed the first successful transfusion of human blood to a patient for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
James Blundell (1840)
James Blundell’s process of successful transfusion process
Using the patient’s husband as a donor, he extracts approximately 4 oz
(118 mL) of blood from the husband’s arm and, using a syringe,
successfully transfuses the wife
He discovered the first three human blood groups, A, B, and C.
Karl Landsteiner (1901)
Blood type C was later to be re-named
O (for the German “Ohne”, meaning “without,” “zero,” or “null” in English)
World Blood Donor Day
It is celebrated on the birthday anniversary of Karl Landsteiner on June 14, 1868.

He was the first to succeed in developing devices designed for blood transfusions
Edward Lindemann (1913)
He designed the first syringe-valve apparatus
• Unassisted donor-to-patient blood transfusion was made possible and became practical
Lester Unger (1913)
He was the first to successfully use sodium citrate as an anticoagulant solution for non-direct blood transfusions
Albert Hustin (1914)
Excess citrate results in _____ and _______.
toxicity and hypocalcemia
He determined the minimum and correct amount (dosage) of sodium citrate needed for non-direct whole blood anticoagulation
Richard Lewisohn (1915)
Suggested that the safety of transfusion might be improved by cross-matching blood between donors and patients to exclude incompatible mixtures.
Ludvig Hektoen (1907)
Devises a way to prevent clotting by sewing the vein of the recipient directly to the artery of the donor (aka anastomosis).
Alexis Carrel (1908)
