a relative is in end of life care for terminal cancer in the hospital and received a blood transfusion today. I was just wondering why?

I couldn’t really get an understandable answer from the nurse. Why would you need a blood transfusion, what would it do when the patient is likely to die in the next few days? Thanks.

Comfort care. If his blood oxygen is low he might have been feeling even worse anxiety than expected. Partial suffocation is truly awful.
