Detailed explanation-1: -The universal red cell donor has Type O negative blood. The universal plasma donor has Type AB blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -What Is A Universal Blood Type? In an emergency situation where a patient’s blood type is unknown, type O negative blood is the only blood type that is safe to use. The reason is that it is compatible with all blood types. Type O negative is known as the universal blood type.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why is O + a universal donor? Although O+ is considered to be a universal donor, O-is the actual universal donor because A, B, and Rh antigens are absent in the latter. So, it can be given to anyone, irrespective of the blood group.
Detailed explanation-4: -People with type O-blood are called universal donors because their donated red blood cells have no A, B or Rh antigens and can therefore be safely given to people of any blood group.
