What is the procedure of blood transfusion in blood bank?

What is the golden rule for blood transfusion?

Because tissue oxygen delivery is dependent on hemoglobin and cardiac output, past medical practice has supported the use of the golden 10/30 rule, by which patients are transfused to a hemoglobin concentration of 10 g/dL or a hematocrit of 30%, regardless of symptoms.

What is the 4 hour rule for blood transfusion?

The 30-minute rule states that red blood cell (RBC) units left out of controlled temperature storage for more than 30 minutes should not be returned to storage for reissue; the 4-hour rule states that transfusion of RBC units should be completed within 4 hours of their removal from controlled temperature storage.
