Abstract
Blood transfusions have become an important component of feline intensive medical and surgical care. Feline blood transfusions are now often given in first-opinion practice. This chapter reviews the practical aspects of transfusion medicine in cats and covers feline blood donors; blood groups and typing; cross-matching; anticoagulant-preservative solutions; blood donation; preparation and storage of blood products; availability and use of blood banks; indications for blood transfusions; administration of whole blood and blood components; transfusion reactions and management; autotransfusion and preoperative autologous blood donation.

Feline blood donation. Blood is collected by jugular venepuncture with the cat in sternal recumbency. Blood is taken via a plastic syringe that contains 1 ml of 3.13% sodium citrate per 9 ml of blood and which is connected to a 19-gauge butterfly needle. The syringe is rocked gently during blood collection. © 2012 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

For blood-banking purposes, a three-way stopcock is placed between the butterfly and the syringe, and a storage bag of 100 ml capacity is attached. After collecting the blood into the syringe, the stopcock is turned, and the blood is injected slowly into the storage bag. © 2012 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
