The need for transfusion is a
made permanent and still growing within the new measures applied to therapeutic
care activity. Maintain health system performance levels required adequate blood donation and blood components,
and each time for more frequent and extensive form Transfusion Services live
shortages. Thus, to achieve levels of blood donation appropriate should be a
national priority to promote long within a sufficient number of donors and donations, which is devote
the necessary resources and to base its activity on research on world but also
in the promotional mechanisms, knowledge of what motivates or discourages
people to donate. Speaking of donating blood is talk of solidarity with healthy
sick.
Human blood is an essential product, despite the enormous progress
technology, cannot be manufactured in the lab. Can be achieved only through the
donation and therefore is a generous act of citizenship to solve a public
problem. In ultimately, it is a social duty of all. Voluntary blood donor is best guarantee of quality and safety for
the donor and recipient, a fact that has been particularly evident after
knowledge news viral diseases that can be transmitted by blood transfused, and
has led to strengthening. The donation is a voluntary, anonymous and altruistic
act, legally established. The act of donating blood should be seated in a number of ethical reasons, ensuring full
respect for the health of the donor and avoid behaviors that lead to
exploitation of man by man. clinical reasons, transmitting the donor security
printing in the sense that his act is medically controlled and minimizing as
far as possible, the transmission of receptors infections.
We must begin to think that
solidarity is not an outdated concept, overcome by new forms of relationship,
but a rational necessity and a means of survival the human species. Possibly it
would be very difficult to find a more ideal test bed to study the level of
cohesion of a society and the extension of the concepts of cooperation and
solidarity that exist therein, the field of blood donation. The solidarity and
social awareness are the very basis of its existence, its purpose is well
public need and the only barrier is the freedom of the individual. As for the
information to be transmitted on the medical act of donation, we highlight
three aspects:
- Provide assurance on the safety of the act of donating blood, as it is controlled by medical staff experienced in the care and treatment of the donor, causing no risk to the donor. You only need to be 18 years, weigh more than 50 pounds and be in good health. The donation does not exist any risk of contracting infectious diseases, since all the sanitary material used is a single use. In addition, donated blood undergoes process of comprehensive quality control for possible diseases contagious and in such case will not be used. Other fears arising from the fear of puncture or dizziness are unfounded because they are rare and not carry risks.
- Explain in detail what the blood donation; it is an act simple and brief, lasting no more than 10 minutes, where about 450 ml are collected. blood, which represents about 10% of blood flowing through the an adult body ... The replacement of removed items is Quick; the liquid or plasma does not take more than 24-48 hours and only RBCs need a month for their full replacement. Prior to an interview extraction is performed and donor medical examination (weight, making pulse and if auscultation Cardiopulmonary, blood pressure check and hemoglobin). You need to repeat that anyone who has doubts should confidently approach the donation because there they will try to clarify. The quality of the medical interview and its interrogation, respecting the privacy of the donor depends safeguarding the first blood donation: "It should not cause any harm to the donor or the receiver. “Finally, with the capture of refreshing, ending the act of giving blood. Its purpose is to replace the small loss of blood volume with fluids, controlled to maintain the donor to avoid fading post donation, gratify somehow and offer the ability to chat with other donors, including the fostering team spirit.
- Ensure that donated blood is not subject to financial transactions; that not negotiated with blood. The National Plan provides the Hemoterapia supply of blood and blood products through the Centers for Blood Transfusion public and private hospitals being used.
The entire above are some touches aimed at
within the population a "personal self-reflection" about donating
blood, to allow achieving a more favorable situation for everyone. And very
special thanks to and all who are blood donors for their generosity and
altruism; that their behavior is reflection to achieve a more just society.
