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.
