Whole blood (WB) is human blood from a standard blood donation.[2] It is used in the treatment of massive bleeding, in exchange transfusion, and when people donate blood to themselves.[3][2] One unit of whole blood (~517 mls) brings up hemoglobin levels by about 10 g/L.[4][5] Cross matching is typically done before the blood is given.[3][6] It is given by injection into a vein.[7]

Side effects include allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, red blood cell breakdown, high blood potassium, infection, volume overload, and lung injury.[3][4] Whole blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and blood plasma.[4] It is best within a day of collection; however, can be used for up to three weeks.[6][4][8] The blood is typically combined with an anticoagulant and preservative during the collection process.[9]

The first transfusion of whole blood was in 1818; however, common use did not begin until the First and Second World Wars.[6][10] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[11] In the 1980s the cost of whole blood was about US$50 per unit in the United States.[12] Whole blood is not commonly used outside of the developing world and military.[3] It is used to make a number of blood products including packed red blood cells, platelet concentrate, cryoprecipitate, and fresh frozen plasma.[2]
