Abstract: Whole blood was the earliest blood product ever used, however, with the advent of component transfusion treatments, whole blood all but disappeared from blood bank lists in the 1970 s. In recent years, based upon the successful military experience, the use of whole blood to resuscitate patients with hemorrhagic trauma has again attracted the attention of the blood transfusion circle,and it has gradually been introduced from the military field to the civilian treatment settings.Based on the guidelines for whole blood transfusion at home and abroad and related published studies, this paper reviews the classification of whole blood, history of whole blood use, whole blood storage and platelet protection, removal of whole blood white blood cells, inactivation of whole blood pathogens, and urgent problems to be solved in scientific and accurate transfusion of whole blood, and looks forward to its future development direction, providing reference for the introduction of whole blood more widely, and the development of blood transfusion medicine.
