Answer 2

Question :-

Why compatibility of blood is required for blood transfusion ?

Answer :-

↪ Blood products are used for a blood transfusion and not whole blood because:

◼ Each patient requires separate blood components based on the condition of trauma or disease.

◼ It will be better to provide that particular component than the whole blood which is not required by the patient.

◼ So usually in blood banks when blood is collected from the donor its components are separated immediately.
