M1 U1 History of Immunohematology Flashcards
First time blood transfusion was recorded in history
Pope Innocent VII

discovered the circulation of blood.
William Harvey
1628
observes and describes RED BLOOD CELLS
Jan Swammerdam
1658
First recorded successful blood transfusion occurs in England with dogs
Physician Richard Lower 1665
Separately report successful transfusions from
lambs to humans. Within 10 years, transfusing the blood of animals to humans becomes prohibited by law because of reactions.
1667: Jean-Baptiste Denis in France and Richard Lower in England
first human blood transfusion, although he does not publish this information
American physician Philip Syng Physick
1795
first successful transfusion of human blood to a patient for the treatment of POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE
British obstetrician James Blundell, 1818
performs the first successful whole blood transfusion to treat hemophilia
Samuel Armstrong Lane, 1840
uses antiseptics to control infection during
transfusions
Joseph Lister, 1867
sodium phosphate, a nontoxic anticoagulant- FIRST EXAMPLE OF BLOOD PRESERVATION
RESEARCH
1869, Braxton Hicks
Discovered the first three human blood groups, A, B, and C
Karl Landsteiner, 1901
Discovered AB, the fourth Blood type
Alfred Decastello and Adriano Sturli
safety of transfusion might be improved by
CROSS MATCHING blood between donors and patients to exclude incompatible mixtures
1907: LUDVIG HEKTOEN
performs the first blood transfusion using blood typing and cross-matching
REUBEN OTTENBERG
devises a way to prevent clotting by sewing the vein
of the recipient directly to the artery of the donor, vein-to-vein or direct method, known
as anastomosis
1908: French surgeon Alexis Carrel
describes the antiglobulin reaction
Carlos Moreschi
develops the Lee-White clotting time
1912: Roger Lee, Paul Dudley White
demonstrates that it is safe to give group O blood to patients of any blood group, and that blood from all groups can be given to group AB patients. The terms “universal donor” and “universal recipient” are coined.
Roger Lee, 191
carried out vein-to-vein transfusion of blood by using
multiple syringes and a special cannula for puncturing the vein through the skin.
Edward Lindemann, 1913
Designed the syringe – valve apparatus
Lester J. Unger, 1913
reported the use of sodium citrate as an anticoagulant
Albert Hustin, 1914
determined the minimum amount of citrate needed for
anticoagulation
Richard Lewisohn, 1915
introduced a citrate-glucose solution that permits
storage of blood for several days after collection
1916: FRANCIS ROUS AND J.R. TURNER
credited with creating the blood depots
Oswald Robertson
The MNSs and P systems are discovered. MNSs and P are two more blood group antigen systems — just as ABO is one system and Rh is another.
1927-1947
establishes the first hospital blood bank in the United States. In creating a hospital laboratory that can preserve and store donor blood, originates the term “blood bank.
Bernard Fantus, 1937
The Rh Blood group system is discovered
1939-1940
Alexander Wiener, Philip Levine and R.E. Stetson
develops cold ethanol fractionation (Albumin, gamma globulin and fibrinogen are isolated and become available for clinical use)
1940, Edwin Cohn
develops the first blood container
John Elliott, 1941
appointed as director of the first AMERICAN Red Cross Blood bank at the Presbyterian Hospital
1941: DR. CHARLES DREW
effectively treats victims of the Pearl Harbor attack with Cohn’s albumin for shock
1941, ISODOR RAVDIN
Introduced the formula for the preservative Acid- Citrate Dextrose (ACD)
1943: LOUTIT AND MOLLISON
publishes the classic description of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis.
1943: P. Beeson
describe the use of ANTI-HUMAN GLOBULIN to
identify incomplete antibodies
1945: COOMBS, MOURANT AND RACE
ABO blood-typing and syphilis testing is performed on each unit of blood
1947
reports the use of glycerol CRYOPROTECTANT for red blood cells
1950: AUDREY SMITH
introduced the plastic bag for blood collection
1950: Carl Walter and W.P. Murphy, Jr.,
Development of the refrigerated centrifuge
1953
Introduced an improved preservative solution called citrate-phosphate-dextrose
1957- Gibson
PLATELET CONCENTRATES are recognized for reducing the mortality from hemorrhage in cancer patients
1961
PLASMAPHERESIS is introduced as a means of collecting plasma for fractionation
1964
demonstrate the feasibility of storing platelets at ROOM TEMPERATURE, revolutionizing platelet transfusion therapy.
1969: S. Murphy and F. Gardner
U.S. blood banks move toward an ALL-VOLUNTEER blood donor system.
1971
Apheresis is used to extract one cellular component, returning the rest of the blood
to the donor
1972
FDA requires blood bags to be labeled “paid” or “volunteer”
1978
First Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) case reported.
1981
Additive solutions extend the shelf life of red blood cells to 42 days.
1983
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) identified as cause of AIDS
1984
The first blood-screening test to detect HIV is licensed and quickly implemented by blood banks to protect the blood supply.
1985
Testing of donor blood for HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies (anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2) is implemented.
1992
Nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) for HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) licensed by the Food and Drug Administration
