Transfusion medicine is a multidisciplinary area concerned with the proper usage of blood and blood components in the treatment of human diseases. Our Blood Bank has been providing dedicated services for almost 22 years.

The motto of the Department of Transfusion medicine is to provide “the right blood to the right patient at the right time”. We are the first in Coimbatore to start Apheresis (collecting only the required blood component) collection since 2003. We perform Blood Transfusion In Coimbatore.

Therapeutic procedures like Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, Therapeutic Leuco-cytopheresis, are also performed in our department. According to the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), strict adherence to quality control at all phases of Blood Donor Selection, Blood Collection, Screening for Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTI) and processing of blood, and serological procedures for grouping and typing of blood are followed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What blood parts are used in transfusions?
Several blood products can be manufactured and used as replacement therapy in transfusion medicine; however, RBCs, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), platelets, and cryoprecipitate are the most routinely utilized in general practice.
Although blood transfusions are often considered to be safe, complications might arise. During the transfusion and for several days or longer later, mild to severe complications can occur. Allergic reactions such as hives and itching, as well as fever, are two of the most prevalent side effects.
The tests include blood type determination and infectious illness testing. Red blood cells, platelets, and plasma are separated from whole blood, while plasma can be further refined into albumin, clotting factor concentrations, and immunoglobulin. If you’re looking to donate blood in Coimbatore, reach out to Sri Ramakrishna Hospital either directly or through the website. Register to be a volunteer to donate blood.
A blood transfusion should take no more than a couple of hours and no more than four hours. This is done to avoid contaminating and dangerously exposing the blood. However, if you need blood right away, you may be able to get it faster than usual.
Most adults in good health can give about half a liter of blood without putting their health at risk. Within a couple of days of giving blood, your body makes up for the fluids it lost. After 2 weeks, your body makes new red blood cells to make up for the ones you lost.
Both male and female without any health concerns can donate blood. But it is important that males have a gap of three months and females have a gap of four months between each donation to ensure the body is given enough time to restore its lost blood.
