1 Blood donation Did you know that every day, new medical treatments are being developed and more operations are being carried out? Not surprisingly, blood donations are always needed. About 2.5 million blood donations, to be exact. The donated blood can be used in several ways. Blood as a whole is rarely used, except in cases of severe blood loss. Usually, blood is separated into its individual components to be used. Red blood cells are widely used to replace lost blood during surgery, or in the treatment of anemia and sickle cell disease. Platelets are used to help patients undergoing chemotherapy or suffering from leukemia. These are but a few examples of how the donated blood can be used. Every year, about 110, 960 chemotherapy patients are in need of your blood. Be a helpful blood donor today! Ad Council – blood donation msg 3 p. 1 Please click to continue
