How long does each of these blood transfusions be consumed?

Fresh Whole Blood?
RBC
Platelet
PLasma
Albumin?

Thanks people... =)

Do you mean how long it takes to transfuse each blood product?

Whole blood is almost never used anymore, but transfusions of red blood cells are normally given over 2 to 3 hours per unit. If the patient is bleeding or in shock, it's given as fast as you can squeeze it in.

Platelets, plasma, and albumin can be run in as fast as you like, but if the patient's in congestive heart failure you run it more slowly so you don't overload him.
