How Long Does It Take To Get A 2 Pint Blood Transfussion?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    4 to 8 hours, usually closer to the 8.  But it can be done much faster in emergency situations.  The trade off in such situations is a higher risk of infection (from more hasty insertion of possibly multiple cannulas).

    Sometimes it's known in advance that certain types of surgery will involve high blood loss.  The surgeon will insert suitable and possibly multiple cannulas in advance to make sure that blood can be transfused quickly when necessary.
