M1 U1 History of Immunohematology Flashcards
First time blood transfusion was recorded in history
Pope Innocent VII
1492
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
