Priya Prasad: When Blood Becomes the Battlefield – Transfusion Medicine Saves Lives

Priya Prasad, Senior Specialist at Caritas Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“When blood becomes the battlefield – Transfusion Medicine saves lives.

A critically ill patient. A mysterious bite. A cascade of life-threatening complications – venom-induced coagulopathy, DIC, hemolysis, acute kidney injury, and possible TMA.

What stood between life and death?

  • Rapid plasmapheresis (TPE)
  • Serial blood product transfusions – packed RBCs, FFP, cryoprecipitate, platelets
  • Hemodialysis
  • A multidisciplinary team working around the clock

Transfusion Medicine is not just a support service – it is the frontline in cases like these.

Snake envenomation can turn deadly within hours.

The right blood product, at the right time, in the right quantity –  that’s the science and art of Transfusion Medicine.”
