transfuses
Gives blood intravenously
Transfuses is the act of transferring blood or another fluid from one source into a recipient's bloodstream: The surgeon transfuses two units of blood during the operation.
By extension, to transfuse is to infuse or permeate something with a quality: Optimism transfuses her writing.
The word suggests both the literal medical procedure and the figurative spreading of influence or spirit from one thing to another.
