Lawrence Bruce-Robertson, a junior staff surgeon at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto during World War I, played a significant role in the development of blood transfusion techniques. Influenced by Edward Lindeman, Bruce-Robertson used Lindeman's method of indirect transfusion using multiple syringes. He believed in the importance of whole blood transfusion, which differed from the British Royal Army Medical Corps' use of crystalloid and/or colloid as resuscitation fluids. Bruce-Robertson's advocacy for blood transfusion led to the British authorities adopting this method. A transfusion set believed to have been used by Bruce-Robertson is now in the Museum in the Canadian Forces Health Services Training Center. [Extracted from the article]
