Historical accounts of the earliest experiments in blood transfusion celebrate work done in France and England in 1667 to 1668. Less attention has been given to pioneering experiments conducted at the same period in Italy. We review records of the first blood transfusion experiments conducted in 17th century Italy. Using original source documents, we provide details of early experiments focusing on the identity of early researchers, their instruments, and techniques. Accounts of the period describe animal-to-animal, animal-to-human, and human-to-human transfusions. We highlight how transfusion was considered a new form of emergency surgery, carried out in order to save patients who could not be cured with traditional therapy of the time.
历史记载中最早的输血实验可追溯到 1667 年至 1668 年的法国和英国。然而，同期在意大利进行的开创性实验却鲜少受到关注。我们回顾了 17 世纪意大利首次进行的输血实验记录。通过原始资料，我们详细介绍了早期实验，包括早期研究人员的身份、他们的仪器和技术。这一时期的记载描述了动物到动物、动物到人类和人类到人类的输血。我们强调了输血如何被视为一种新形式的紧急手术，用于拯救那些无法通过当时传统疗法治愈的患者。
