What Does PRBC Stand For?

PRBC stands for Packed Red Blood Cells

PRBC, or Packed Red Blood Cells, refers to blood components that are specifically processed to concentrate red blood cells by removing most of the plasma and other cellular components. This product is commonly used in transfusion medicine to treat patients with anemia, significant blood loss, or certain medical conditions requiring red blood cell support. PRBC transfusions help restore oxygen-carrying capacity in the bloodstream, improving overall circulation and tissue oxygenation.
