Blood Bank Thesis

Even though we have seen extraordinary advances in medical science and related technology over the last several decades, clinical practices have been determined based on the balance between the benefits and related risks of intervention.They found that a restrictive transfusion strategy was significantly associated with reduced mortality in younger patients and in those with less severe conditions.Nowadays, blood is mainly processed in its different components that are red blood cells, platelets, plasma and some therapeutics. Transfusion medicine is in perpetual evolution and has faced several challenges from donors screening to clinical practices through blood preparation.

According to The American Red Cross (Blood Facts and Statistics, 2015), every two seconds someone in the U. needs blood, and more than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day. There are many factors that lead directly to the increase of blood demand, such as the aging population, traffic accidents, and nature disasters. population is eligible to donate, less than 10% do.
