Blood Transfusion
输血
Blood transfusion is a medical term.
输血是一个医学术语。
It means a procedure used to transfer blood, or some products based on blood, from the circulatory system of one human to that of another human.
它指的是将血液或一些基于血液的产品从一个人的循环系统转移到另一个人的循环系统的过程。
Blood types are very important when a blood transfusion is necessary.
当需要输血时,血型非常重要。
In a blood transfusion, a patient must receive a blood type compatible with his or her own blood type.
在输血时,患者必须输入与其自身血型相匹配的血型。
If the blood types are not compatible, red blood cells will clump together, making clots that can block blood vessels causing a potentially fatal situation.
如果两种血型不相配,红细胞就会聚集在一起,形成凝块,阻塞血管,造成潜在的致命情况。
Therefore, it is important that blood types can be matched before blood transfusions take place.
因此,在输血之前,血型匹配是很重要的。
In an emergency, type O blood can be given because it is most likely to be accepted by all blood types.
在紧急情况下,可以输O型血,因为它最有可能被所有血型的患者接受。
However, there is still a risk involved.
然而,其中仍然存在风险。
Why Blood Transfusions are Performed?

Some illnesses and treatments can harm the bone marrow's ability to make blood, e.g. Chemotherapy decreases production of new blood cells.
一些疾病和治疗会损害骨髓的造血能力,例如化疗会减少新血细胞的产生。
