L'Anesthesiste et la transfusion sanguine

N.-K. MINH M.D.1 and R. MILETTE M.D.1

1 Résidents du Service d'Anesthésie de l'Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal

Acting as a life-guard, the anaesthetist must transfuse countless units of blood during operations in order to correct or re-establish the vital functions of patients. Conscious of his duties and responsibilities, he must constantly bear in mind the danger of transfusions.

For this reason we have thought fit to review briefly the history of the immunology and the many tests for the compatibility of transfusions, such as: the Law of Landsteiner; the dangerous universal donor; the subgroups A2; the multiple grouping of the Rh system; the necessity of compatible transfusion in dealing with antigens such as Kell, C, E, and Fya.

The clinical picture of accidents due to incompatibility, and the treatment advised in such cases, whether the patient be conscious or under anaesthesia, is discussed.
