What can you expect when you are ready to donate blood?
You walk into a reputed and safe blood donation centre. Usually, you will be asked to fill out a short form or a few questions will be asked to determine your health status. A quick physical check will be done to check temperature, blood pressure, pulse and haemoglobin content in blood to ensure you are a healthy donor. Once found fit to donate, you will be asked to lie down on a resting chair or a bed. Your arm will be thoroughly cleaned and using sterile equipment blood will be collected in a special plastic bag. Approximately 350 ml of blood will be collected in one donation. Those who weigh more than 60 Kg can donate 450 ml of blood. Then you must rest and relax for a few minutes with a light snack and a refreshing drink. Blood will be separated into components within eight hours of donation. The blood will then be taken to the laboratory for testing. Once found safe, it will be kept in special storage and released when required. The blood is now ready to be taken to the hospital to save lives.
