Une vieille gravure de l'appareil de transfusion de sang victorien. Il est tiré d'un livre d'ingénierie mécanique des années 1880. Ce dispositif (l’«appareil de transfusion directe» d’Aveling) nécessite l’insertion d’un tube en argent dans une veine donneuse (à droite). Le sang est forcé dans la veine du patient (à gauche) en pressant la poire en caoutchouc au centre de l’appareil. L'obstétricien britannique J H Aveling a inventé son système en 1872. La transfusion sanguine est le processus de transfert de sang ou de produits sanguins dans sa circulation intraveineuse. Les transfusions précoces ont utilisé du sang total.

An old engraving of Victorian blood transfusion apparatus. It is from a mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. This device (Aveling’s ‘direct transfusion apparatus’) requires a silver tube to be inserted into a donor vein (right). The blood is forced into the patient’s vein (left) by squeezing the rubber bulb in the centre of the apparatus. British obstetrician J H Aveling invented his system in 1872. Blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood or blood products into one's circulation intravenously. Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. Early transfusions used whole blood, but today medical practice commonly uses only the components of the blood. In the early 1800s British obstetrician Dr James Blundell made efforts to treat haemorrhage by transfusion of human blood using a syringe. In 1818 he performed the first successful transfusion of human blood to treat a patient. Blundell used the patient's husband as a donor, and extracted four ounces of blood from his arm to transfuse into his wife. During the years 1825 and 1830, Blundell performed 10 transfusions, five of which were successful, and published his results. These early transfusions were risky and many resulted in the death of the patient. By the late 1800s blood transfusion was largely shunned by the medical establishment. However, Professor James Young Simpson carried out the largest series of early successful transfusions at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary between 1885 and 1892. Edinburgh later became the home of the first blood donation and blood transfusion services.
