Blood transfusion is an essential part of modern critical care medicine. Blood is the most precious and unique gift that one human can give to another. Blood donors are precious resources.
So in modern transfusion medicine, the process of separating blood components from whole blood is essential and made possible by the development of plastic bags. Because the blood is easily perished, component separation and administration will help us in rationalizing the use of blood.
The primary aim of component separation was to provide the right component to the right patient in the right quantity at the right time in the right quality.
