• Cancer, transplant and trauma patients, and patients undergoing open-heart surgery, require platelet transfusions to survive.
• The average bone marrow transplant requires 120 units of platelets and about 20 units of red blood cells.
• Severe burn victims can use up to 20 units of platelets during their treatment.
• Thalassemia patients consume 47% (13,976 units in 2009) of the blood collected through the DBDC.
• Just one pint of donated blood can help save 3-5 lives.
• An adult body contains 10-12 pints of blood.
• It takes about 7-10 minutes to donate a pint of blood and 24 hours for your body to replace the blood fluid volume.
• One unit of blood can be separated into several components (red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate).
• Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow and transport oxygen to body tissue. The body replaces red blood cells approximately six weeks after donation. Refrigerated red cells can last up to 42 days.
