Blood in blood banks spoil after 40 days. Millions of people donate blood every day, but about 1.3 million pints of donated blood spoil every year. You have been taught that there are just 4 types of blood group A, B, AB and O. But ABO isn’t the only blood grouping system. There are currently 33 systems recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion There are blood groups called "Lutheran," "Duffy," "Hh/Bombay," "Ok," etc. From the attached image, oxygenated blood is the one with bright red, while dexoygenated blood is dark reddish. For instance, When spilled blood get to the ground or a surface it starts to turn darker and darker as it dries and its hemoglobin breaks down into a compound called methemoglobin. #AoKfacts #Oplum #facts #fact

🩸 Addressing the Blood Shortage: Delcon’s Approach The American Red Cross has declared a state of emergency due to a critical blood shortage and is urgently calling on citizens to contribute. According to a recent report by ABC News (https://lnkd.in/dGc4iiYw), the organization is currently grappling with the lowest number of donations in the past two decades. Hospitals are receiving blood components (whole blood, red blood cells, plasma, and platelets) at a rate that outpaces incoming donations. The Red Cross, a major contributor, supplying approximately 40% of blood donations in the United States, has found it necessary to implement restrictions on the distribution of certain blood groups. The situation underscores the need for strategic changes and efficiencies in the blood supply chain, with a heightened focus on enhancing the donor experience. At Delcon, we are committed to leveraging technology and design through our products and the OpenChair platform to enhance the blood donation process in transfusion centers. Our aim is not only to streamline operations but also to foster greater community engagement in the donation process by providing a simple and fast strategy for individuals to choose when and where to donate.

The reality: There’s a good chance we, or someone close to us, will need blood transfusion in our lifetimes. I don’t enjoy giving blood. But making it available to someone in serious need makes it easier to push through. My tricks: bring headphones, read something that requires a lot of focus, or watch funny videos. What’s your trick? The data: “In patients over the age of 64, transfusion of blood and blood products ranks as the second most common procedure performed in U.S. hospitals. “For patients between the ages of 45-64, it is the fifth most common procedure. “Overall, transfusion of blood and blood products occurs in 3.5-5.1 percent of hospital stays, depending on patient age group.” (2022 America’s Blood Centers) The ask: Consider doing some research to become comfortable with how your donation will be collected and utilized, and pick a donation agency that you feel you can support. Here’s a few schedules to check to see where, and when, you might donate: CarterBloodCare.org https://lnkd.in/gdpcVapQ
