How do they prevent people from bleeding out dry during any major operation?
In: Biology
I just had a more involved surgery; a total hip replacement. The scar is pretty gnarly.
As far as I know, there’s no record of my blood type on file as I’ve never given it to anyone. If a blood transfusion was needed (unlikely) would they just be able to figure out what flavour right then and there?
Also, while they asked me my weight, I was never weighed. Isn’t that important for the anesthetic?
