Modern Blood Transfusion Practice:
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.
Another important practice is apheresis. This is separation of only desired component from the donor and return the remaining constituent back to donor. This technique is also used for remaining pathological substance in patients.
Withdrawal of blood for transfusion is regarded as a safe procedure now and blood donor has emerged as the single most vital link.
So this year my dear friends 'Donate Blood ' and give somebody a GIFT OF LIFE .
