Eminent Cairo
A physician who is recognized by his discovery of how the blood goes in and out of the lungs. This is also known as Pulmonary Circulation. -
Fabricius
An anatomist from Padula that created the very first drawing of vein valves with work that he published with it. -
William Harvey
A British physicain that purposes the blood that flows through the entire body because the heart is the one that pumps it. -
Jan Swammerdam
A Dutch microscopist that is known as the first human to describe and observe the red blood cells. -
Marcello Malpighi
An Italian anatomist that is the first one to take a look at the Capillary System, which is a combination of many vessels that connect to the arteries and veins. To do this he used a Rudimentary microscope. -
Richard Lower
He is the first person recorded to perform a blood transfusion with two dogs. -
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
A Dutch microscopist that was unaware of the work Malpighi and Swammerdam had already completed. He gave a more specific description of red blood cells and approximated their size. -
William Hewson
A Britidh anatomist researched blood coagulation. -
James Blundell
Performed the first recorded human to human blood transfusion. He is a physiologist that did the procedure by using a syringe and 12 to 14 ounces of blood from several doners to a person who was suffering from internal bleeding, but shortly after passed away. -
Sir William Osler
A man who first looked at the bone marrow and found that there were small cell fragments that made the clots in the blood vessels, later on these were named Platelets. -
Karl Landsteiner
A physician that discovered the three different blood types that he named A, B, and C but later on changed C to O. He mixed two blood types such as A and B and realized that there was clumping which is also know as agglutination. -
Alfred von Decastillo and Adriano Sturli
These two men were colleages of Karl Landsteiner they discovered the blood type AB which is the fourth one that agglutinates when mixed with A or B. -
Dr. Ludvig Hektoen
Recommended that before people donate their blood they should be tested to see if there are any signs of omcompatibilty or cross matching. -
Albert Hustin and Luis Agote
These two researchers discovered that when you add sodium citrate to the blood it will keep it from clotting. -
Dr. Richard Weil
Confirmed blood that has been citrated can be stored for a couple of days then transfused into the person who needs the blood. -
Francis Peyton Rous and J.R. Turner
These men created a citrate-glucose mixture that made it safe for blood to be stored for a few weeks and still be transfused to another person after being collected. -
Oswald Robertson
He established the first blood depot. Since he knew what Cr. Turner and Dr. Rous discovered he advanced off of what they formulated. -
Percy Lane Oliver
Started a blood doner service he ran inside of his house, he recruited volunteers that were comitted to travel to nearby hospitals to give blood and be at service for 24 hours. -
Anesthesiologists at Mayo Clinic
A group of anesthesiologists that worked at Mayo Clinic planned a blood transfusion service that used the citrated blood in Untied States hospitals. -
Dr. Norman Bethune
A doctor and volunteer that created a similar blood service that was mobile called the Spanish-Canadian Blood Transfusion Institute. -
Dr. Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener
They found another blood group called Rh by doing experiments on Rhesus monkeys. They used their red blood cells. -
Dr, Isidor Radvin
A Philiadelphia surgeon who treated people who were afftected at the Pearl Harbor attack, he used Albumin to increase blood volume. -
Dr. Paul Beeson
He linked the occurence of jaundice to blood or plasma transfusions. -
Blood Banks
Independent community blood banks formed a national network of blood banks called the American Association of Blood Banks in the postwar period. -
Dr. Carl W. Walter
He developed a plastic bag that was specially designed for holding collected blood rather than using glass bottles. -
Dr. Max Perutz
He unraveled the hemoglobin by figuring out its structure ; the protein in the red blood cells carry the oxygen. -
Dr. Judith Pool
She found that the plasma that is slowly thawed yields deposits cryoprecipitates that contain a greater clotting power. -
Dr. Kenneth M. Brinkhous and Edward Shanbrom
They produced a high concentrated form of Antihemophilic Factor by getting high amounts of plasma that make cryoprecipitates. -
Elliot Richardson
He is the secretary of welfare, health, and education. He gave the responsibilities of regulating the blood banking industry from the DBS to the FDA. -
New Syndrome
A syndrome called Gay-related Immunodeficiency Disease (GRID) is mainly among gay men, this was later called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). -
Dr. Bruce Evatt
He thinks that Gay-related Immunodeficiency Disease is a syndrome that is blood borne. -
Research
Researchers in France locate the AIDS virus that causes AIDS in a swollen lymph node of an AIDS patient, and called it Lymphadenopath-Associated Virus (LAV). -
Dr. Robert Gallo
He identified the deadly virus that is the one responsible for causing AIDS. -
Spreading of AIDS
Since many Americans were gatting AIDS from the blood transfusions they created and held the first blood-screening test on March 2. -
Blood Screening
Over time more blood tests were created to screen any and all donated blood just incase the person who donated their blood had a disease.
