blood replacement
IV fluid substitute
Blood replacement is the medical practice of substituting a patient's blood with donor blood or synthetic alternatives, typically during surgery or after severe blood loss.
The term also appears in science fiction and horror contexts, where it may involve supernatural or technological processes: The vampire required complete blood replacement every century.
