Albert Hustin

Belgian medical doctor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Hustin (1882–1967) was a Belgian medical doctor.

Hustin was born in Ethe and died in Uccle (Uccle BrusselsBelgium).

In 1914, he was the first person to successfully practice non-direct blood transfusions with sodium citrate used as an anticoagulant. The second one was the Argentinean researcher, Luis Agote.[1] Like Agote, Hustin added sodium citrate to the blood to preserve it, and stop it from clotting.[2]
