Whole Blood Collection - Venipuncture • Hemostat the tubing near the needle or use clamp on auto scale • Perform venipuncture • Once the needle is in the arm remove the hemostat or clamp • Blood should flow freely
Whole Blood Collection Inadequate blood flow: • Gently reposition needle • If unable to establish adequate blood flow, discontinue Adequate blood flow: • Once blood flow is established, secure: • Tape needle down at the hub • Tape tubing to arm
Whole Blood Collection • Collect pilot tubes • Strip the tubing at donor bed • Take unit to Lab • Confirm Blood type • Major & Minor Crossmatch • HEP/HIV/RPR screening tests
Unit Collection • Monitor blood volume: 450 + 45 ml • Max collection-20 min • Correct amount reached, place hemostat on line after the Y-connection • Use metal clamp to seal line (to stop flow into bag)
Unit Collection • Collect pilot tubes • Strip the tubing at donor bed • Take unit to Laboratory • Confirm Blood type • Major & Minor Crossmatch • HEP/HIV screening tests • Complete paperwork to issue unit to OR/ER
Post Donation Care • Record: • There is always time for documentation • Monitor the donor for any delayed reactions • Recovery
Unit Processing • Blood can be kept at room temperature for up to 8 hours from time of collection - NOTE: Do NOT use ice if whole blood is to be used in emergency situation during contingency operations. Ice will destroy platelets. - If unit is not used within 8 hours- Keep unit in fridge for 24 hrs until it expires
Unit Testing • Test each unit for: - ABO / Rh • Pilot tube or Unit Segment • Infectious Disease Testing - Normally, screening tests MUST be done prior to issuing the blood - Refrigerate serum or plasma & ship to FDA licensed testing facility/Lackland Blood Donor Center
