Millions of blood transfusions are performed yearly worldwide. With respect to its historical origins, this practice began in the 17(th) century with an English physician. In 1666, Richard Lower reported the first successful transfusion between animals. The first transfusion in a human patient was performed the following year by Jean Baptiste Denis, a French physician. That same year, Lower transfused blood from a lamb into the bloodstream of a clergyman named Arthur Coga. However, the practice was subsequently abandoned for hundreds of years. Safe transfusion awaited the recognition of blood types and cross-matching, and did not occur until early in the 20(th) century. A number of other advances in transfusion therapy have followed, and more are in development.
全球每年进行数百万次输血。就其历史起源而言，这种做法始于17世纪的一位英国医生。1666年，理查德·洛厄报道了首例动物之间的成功输血。次年，法国医生让·巴蒂斯特·丹尼斯在一名人类患者身上进行了首次输血。同年，洛厄将一只羊羔的血液输入了名叫亚瑟·科加的牧师的血管。然而，这种做法随后被搁置了数百年。安全输血等待着血型识别和交叉配血的出现，直到20世纪初才得以实现。随后输血治疗又取得了许多其他进展，并且还有更多进展正在研发中。
