TRANSFUSE Meaning and Definition

  1. The verb "transfuse" refers to the act of transferring or transporting a fluid, typically blood, from one person or organism to another. This medical procedure involves the introduction of fresh blood or its components, such as platelets or plasma, into the circulatory system of an individual experiencing blood loss or other medical conditions that require the supplementation or replacement of blood.

    Typically performed in hospitals or clinics, a transfusion may be necessary in cases of severe trauma, surgery, organ transplantation, or certain medical disorders that affect red or white blood cell count. The procedure involves careful matching of blood types to minimize the risk of immune reactions or other complications. Blood is collected from a donor and, after appropriate testing and processing, is slowly injected into the recipient through a sterile intravenous line.

    Moreover, the term "transfuse" can also be used metaphorically to convey the transfer of ideas, information, or emotions from one individual or entity to another. In this context, it implies a figurative infusion or dissemination of knowledge, emotions, or influences. It suggests a process of sharing or exchanging thoughts, beliefs, or experiences among people or groups, often for the purpose of understanding, learning, or creating a common ground. Transfusion may also allude to the blending or combining of traditions, cultures, or perspectives, resulting in a unified or diversified approach.

  2. To perform transfusion.
