Albert Hustin

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

Professor Hustin was born in Ethe and dead in Uccle (Uccle Brussels - Belgium). He was the first person to successfully practice non-direct blood transfusions (the first who did a direct blood transfusion (From human to human) was the argentinian Luis Agote) with sodium citrate used as an anticoagulant. He added sodium citrate and glucose to the blood to preserve it, and stop it from clotting.
