Thank you Debbie.
agree spamhog : 38000+ Google occurences of multitransfused (and 700+ in .pdf's) must mean something. This vs 15k for polytransfused (500 in .pdf) and close to zero for all the rest.

neutral Angela Dickson (X) : 'multi' is used in this context in English, not 'poly' (despite words such as 'polyglot', 'polyhedron', etc)
