Moral of the story???
There is no moral.. BUT Theres a Question..
WhatWill ItTake UsTo Realize that??
One pint of blood can save upto 3 lives..
How much are you willing to share??
Your blood could save a baby, a child, a mother, a father, a
grandfather or a grandmother. It is a gift we all have inside of us
to give to those who are injured, sick, or in need. Those are the
best reasons to donate blood. Not everyone can save a life. But you
have an opportunity to. Don't waste it.
Who can donate the blood? Donor should be between 18-55 years
of age with a weight of 50 kg or above with pulse rate, body
temperature and blood pressure should be normal. Both men and women
can donate. There are only few conditions in which donors are
permanently excluded. The donor with history of epilepsy, psychotic
disorders, abnormal bleeding tendencies, severe asthma,
cardiovascular disorders, malignancy are permanently unfit for
blood donation.
Who can donate the blood? Donors suffering from disease like
hepatitis, malaria, measles, mumps, and syphilis may donate blood
after full recovery with 3-6 months gap. Also people who have
undergone surgery, blood transfusion may safely donate blood after
6-12 months for woman donors who are pregnant or lactating blood is
not taken as their iron reserves are already on the lower
side.
How much blood can be taken? Our body has 5.5 litre of blood of
which only 350 ml - 450 ml of blood is taken depending upon weight
of donor. Majority of healthy adults can tolerate withdrawal of one
unit of blood. The withdrawn blood volume is restored within 24
hours and the hemoglobin and cell components are restored in 2
months. Therefore it is safe to donate blood every three
months.
Blood Group Compatibility Recipients can receive plasma of the
same blood group, but otherwise the donor-recipient compatibility
for blood plasma is the converse of that of RBCs:plasma extracted
from typeAB blood can be transfused to individuals of any blood
group; individuals of blood group O can receive plasma from any
blood group; and type O plasma can be used only by type O
recipients.
Modern Blood Transfusion: Modern blood transfusion basically
deals with the optimal use of one unit of blood. One unit of whole
blood is separated into components making it available to different
patients according to their requirement. Thus one unit of blood is
converted into packed cell volume, fresh frozen plasma, platelet
concentrate, cryoprecipitate and granulocytes concentrate before
being transfused.
Myths Vs Facts Myths Blood donation leads to weakness.
Government hospitals prohibit blood from private Blood Banks. Blood
Bank is a commercial and profit making activity. Women and girls
cannot donate blood.
Myths Vs Facts Facts Blood donation never leads to weakness it
moreover brings in new energy. According to the NOC issued by the
Government of India, government hospitals can take blood from any
licensed Blood Bank. Blood Bank is completely a no profit, no loss
service. Any healthy person, weighing more than 45 kgs. and in the
age group of 18 to 60 can donate blood irrespective of their
gender.
Instructions to blood donors Take light refreshment / food
before blood donation. (2 hours before) Person who had undergone
major surgery should avoid blood donation for 6 months After
donating blood, do not get up from the bed immediately. Lie down
for next 5 minutes. Sit up for sometime and if you do not feel
anything unusual, get up and proceed to the refreshment area Please
keep the arm of blood donation raised for 10 minutes with firm
pressure at the site of donation. After blood donation, Please go
