TRANSFUSES Meaning and
Definition
-
Transfuse is a verb that refers to the act of transferring or infusing a liquid, especially blood or a blood component, from one person or organism to another, typically through a needle or catheter. It involves the process of injecting a fluid substance from a donor source, such as a blood bank, into the bloodstream of a recipient, usually a patient in need of it.
In medical contexts, transfusion is commonly used to replace blood components that have been depleted or lost due to injury, surgery, or illness. This procedure aims to restore the recipient's blood volume, improve oxygen-carrying capacity, and correct any imbalances or deficiencies in the blood composition.
Transfusing blood may require prior compatibility testing to ensure that the donor and recipient have compatible blood types, minimizing the risk of an adverse reaction. Blood transfusions can be a vital and life-saving intervention in emergency situations or for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as severe anemia, bleeding disorders, or during complex surgeries.
Beyond medical contexts, the term transfuse can also be metaphorically applied to mean the act of imparting or spreading a certain quality or attribute to someone or something. This figurative usage suggests a process of instilling, transmitting, or infusing something intangible, such as ideas, emotions, or beliefs, into another individual or group.
