A Review on Artificial Blood

Mercy Paul*

Artificial blood is a productive concept of transfusion medicine where explicitly defined compounds play the role of transport and delivery of oxygen in the body to supplement this function of allogenic human blood transfusion. Several molecules are formed over a long period of time to accomplish this goal and continuous refinements are consistently made in the mission of the ideal blood substitute. Currently, accessible innovation makes counterfeit blood from hemoglobin acquired from outdated human/bovine blood (Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers; HBOC) or using Perfluorocarbons (PFC). These manufactured/synthetic blood substitutes are beneficial that they don't need similar testing, are free from blood borne diseases, have prolonged span of shelf life and do not need refrigeration. Artificial blood is projected to altogether affect the improvement of clinical consideration in the future times. It can supplement the current blood products for transfusion and make a steady inventory of protected and powerful substitutes. It is probably going to decrease the prerequisites of blood transfusions particularly during injury and medical procedure, also reducing the dependence on banked donated blood.
