When did they start giving blood transfusions?

What year did they start giving blood transfusions?

The science of blood transfusion dates to the first decade of the 19th century

In 1818 a British obstetrician, Dr. James Blundell, was reported as preforming the first successful human blood transfusion using human blood. He performed 10 more through 1830, of which only five were beneficial.

What is interesting is that since the first studies on transfusions in 1904 to the present, not one single high level study shows the that blood transfusions save lives. All the high level studies show the exact opposite.

So, there is an entire modality of medicine that does not use transfusions at all. Even if you have lost 75% of your blood, if treated properly with out blood you will have a better survival rate than if you got a transfusion.
