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.”
