BLOOD COMPONENTS
Developed countries have switched over to blood components for more than 20 years.
Unfortunately in India still 95% of the blood is used as whole blood. One unit of blood can be separated
into several components (red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate).
Donors can give either whole blood or specific blood components only. The process of donating
specific blood components red cells, plasma or platelets is called apheresis. Red blood cells carry
oxygen to the body's organs and tissue. Red blood cells live about 120 days in the circulatory system.
Donated red blood cells must be used within 42 days of collection. These cells are needed for accident

mixture of water, proteins, and salts. Plasma is 90 percent water, makes up 55 percent of blood volume
and is needed for organ, burn and shock patients. Plasma and cryoprecipitate are stored in frozen state and
can be used for up to one year after collection. Blood cannot be manufactured it can only come from
generous donors.
Healthy bone marrow makes a constant supply of red cells, plasma and platelets. The body will
replenish the elements given during a blood donation some in a matter of hours and others in a matter of
weeks.

BLOOD DONATION PROCESS

Blood donation is a simple four-step process: registration, medical history and mini-physical,
donation and refreshments. On arrival at a blood drive, you will be asked to fill a few details on a donor
form. Every blood donor is given a mini-physical, checking, the donor's temperature, blood pressure,
pulse and hemoglobin to ensure it is safe for the donor to give blood.They routinely take a small drop of
blood to ensure that you aren't anemic. After you pass this simple medical screening process, you will be
escorted to a blood donation area. Donating blood is a safe process. A sterile needle is used only once for
each donor and then discarded. The actual blood donation takes about 10 minutes followed by a little rest
and refreshments. The entire process, from when you sign in to the time you leaves, takes about 45
The teacher explains the blood
minutes. The amount of blood drawn and the methods vary, but a typical donation is 450 milliliters (or
