This is a timeline of transfusion medicine, listing significant events in the development of the field.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
18th century The first known human blood transfusion is performed in the century.
19th century The hypodermic syringe is invented as a device to carry out transfusions. However, despite the large breakthrough, obstacles make very difficult for 19th century surgeons to overcome the problem of coagulation of transfused blood, therefore transfusion can't be completed.[1]
20th century In the early 1900s, transfusions are not yet routine procedures and are performed directly from donor to recipient.[2] A major milestone early in the century is the deffinition by Karl Landsteiner of the different blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. Around 1940 a second major system, called the Rh (Rhesus) blood group system, is identified.[3] As for transfusions, no anticoagulants are found to be effective until World War I.[1] In the 1970s it is discovered that blood transfusions present a significant risk for the transmission of life-threatening viruses.[3] During the 1980s, a major development in transfusion medicine is the widespread adoption of autologous blood techniques as routine transfusion modalities.[4]
