Feb 26, 2015 at 16:18 | comment | added | ShemSeger | It is interesting, I agree. However I'm pretty certain that if you ever find yourself in a situation where a transfusion at that high an altitude is needed (and possible), that there is going to be a competent doctor or paramedic present who is qualified to perform the procedure, and is well versed on the effects it would have on the individual volunteering their blood. | |

Feb 25, 2015 at 17:20 | comment | added | ShemSeger | I think the highest any doctor would ever attempt a blood transfusion would be at 5,364 metres (17,598 ft), the elevation of a medical tent at base camp on everest, and that's only if there was no way a helicopter could get to them in time to transport the victim to a hospital before they'd die. This is a situation that would be extremely rare. | |
