Blood Banking
Blood banking is essential in healthcare, involving the collection, testing, processing, and storage of blood and its components for transfusion and therapy. It begins with recruiting and screening donors to ensure safe blood. The collected blood is tested for diseases and typed, then separated into components—red blood cells, plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate—each used to treat different conditions.
Red blood cells help anemia patients, plasma aids clotting disorders, platelets support chemotherapy patients, and cryoprecipitate treats hemophilia. Proper storage is crucial: red blood cells at 4°C for up to 42 days, platelets at room temperature for up to 5 days, and plasma frozen for up to a year.
Effective inventory management ensures blood availability, especially in emergencies. Advances in blood banking improve safety and efficiency, making it indispensable in emergency medicine and various treatments.
