Artificial blood is a cutting-edge transfusion medicine idea in which specially made chemicals replace allogenic human blood transfusion by transporting and delivering oxygen throughout the body. Several compounds have been created in recent decades to fulfil this goal, and ongoing improvements are being made in the search for the perfect blood substitute. Artificial blood is now made using haemoglobin derived from old human/bovine blood (Haemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers) or perfluorocarbons. These synthetic blood substitutes offer the advantages of not requiring compatibility testing, being free of blood-borne pathogens, having a long shelf life, and not requiring refrigeration.

Artificial blood is expected to have a major impact on medical care development in the future. It has the potential to supplement current blood products for transfusion while also ensuring a steady supply of safe and effective goods. It is projected to dramatically reduce the need for blood transfusions, particularly in trauma and surgery situations, lowering the reliance on banked donated blood.

Advantages of Artificial Blood

Compared to human blood, artificial blood has a number of advantages. Patients with any blood type can receive blood replacements since they belong to the universal blood group O negative. Patients who receive artificial blood will not have immunologic reactions, but if they receive incompatible donated blood, they will have major health problems.

When blood substitutes are made, germs and viruses can be killed by sterilising them. This reduces the chance of infectious diseases spreading during blood transfusions, which is a severe problem in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Some blood substitutes have a longer shelf life than human blood and can be kept for one to three years without refrigeration.

Artificial blood can be securely stored outside of hospitals and then administered to patients quickly in an emergency. Patients who are unable to receive blood from donors due to religious views would benefit from blood substitutes such as PFCs that are not derived from blood products.
