Blood transfusion in horses

Abstract

Fluid therapy includes blood transfusion which presents the most efficient manner of treating hypovolaemia caused by blood loss, even though whole blood can be used as a therapeutic means in other cases as well - in deficits of the blood coagulation factor, exhaustion of the antiprotease system, hypoproteinaemia, primarily hypoalbuminaemia, and others. The application of fresh blood has an advantage over preserved blood, which does not lessen the importance of setting up a blood bank, in particular in cases when the blood groups of the donors are precisely determined. .

Deo terapije tečnošću je i transfuzija krvi, koja predstavlja najefikasniji način lečenja hipovolemije izazvane gubitkom krvi, premda se puna krv može koristiti kao terapijsko sredstvo i u drugim slučajevima - kod deficita faktora koagulacije krvi, iscrpljivanja antiproteaznog sistema, hipoproteinemije, hipoalbuminemije itd. Primena sveže krvi ima prednost u odnosu na konzervisanu, što ne umanjuje značaj formiranja banke krvi, naročito u slučajevima kada su krvne grupe donora precizno utvrđene. .
