Blood transfusion during the Spanish civil war (2023)

unapi

By the end of World War I, the value of blood transfusion was widely recognized, but it was not until the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) that large civilian blood donor organizations were created to provide preserved blood for transfusion in civilian and military patients on both sides. The Spanish Civil War was the scene of several surgical innovations, which were introduced into both war and civil medicine. Indirect blood transfusion along with cadaveric transfusion and advances in syphilis eradication were among the most important. This pioneering work allowed the creation, for the first time in history, of military blood transfusion services. This method was later applied in World War II thanks to experience and involves of British volunteer doctors integrated into the Republic's Military Health.
