Could they give blood transfusions to stroke patients when first receiving emergency care?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Blood transfusions may be needed with severe anemias, or active bleeding, and may be required in some complex co-morbidities associated with stroke, but the more common infusion is t-pa, thromboplastin activator to reverse the stroke.
