The process or result of removing fibrin from blood.
From defibrinate + -ion (noun suffix). This technical term became standardized in hematology and medical literature during the development of blood banking in the early 20th century.
Defibrination was one of the first successful methods for preserving blood before refrigeration and anticoagulants were invented—doctors would whip fresh blood with a stick to tangle out the fibrin!
