1 answer

True. When someone receives a transfusion during an operation, they are indeed being given fluids or blood. A blood transfusion involves the introduction of blood or blood products (such as red blood cells, plasma, or platelets) into a person's circulatory system to replace lost blood or to improve blood volume, which can be crucial during surgical procedures where significant blood loss may occur. Additionally, intravenous (IV) fluids may also be administered to maintain hydration and support blood circulation during the operation.
