How it's used
This term is strictly medical and formal in its application, reserved for clinical procedures performed by healthcare professionals. Unlike general verbs, it is not used in metaphorical contexts to describe transferring resources or energy between people. It is almost exclusively used in hospital or emergency settings.
Examples

Learners sometimes confuse this with 捐血, which means to donate blood. Remember that 輸血 is the act of receiving or administering blood, while 捐血 is the act of giving it.
