Blood for surgery

[badkuk]

Guys, patanong naman, we're relatively new to this stuff: my uncle will be undergoing major surgery soon, and we were told that we should give blood first to replace the blood that may be used. We're currently checking with relatives who can donate blood, but assuming no one can, what other alternatives are there?

Look for people who have donated blood to the Red Cross. They should have a card which should give you 500mL(?) of blood for each donation...

Better if any one of you can donate blood as replacement..

you need to know what is your uncle's blood type.

yung mga trainees namin (or those who are undergoing schooling) are ready and willing to donate.

AFAIK, it doesn't necessarily have to be of the same blood type. I already donated once for a cousin with lymphoma.

Relatives who are healthy and don't have tattoos can be screened for donation.

anyone who passed the screening can donate regardless of type they have. what's important is the replacement so that others (in need) can use it.

Before ka magpunta sa redcross make sure dala mo ang doctors request kung anong kaseng preparation ng blood kailangan mo like fresh whole blood, platelets, plasma and so forth.

Much better kung may card ka pero mas maganda kung may dala ka din na donor in case kasi na wala silang available na dugo useless din yung card at least may plan B ka na donor. HTH

get as many healthy-looking adults as you can, and herd them to the blood bank of the hospital. the hospital folks have a checklist and will do some tests.. some of your prospects will invariably fail, hence the "as many as you can". preferably same as patient's blood type, but kahit anong blood type ay tatanggap din. mag-mix-and-match na lang sila sa ibang pasyente's donors.

What surgery and how soon?

Agree ganyan ganyan ginawa namin nung na heart bypass ang father ng bestfriend ko sa PHC. We rented a van and hauled those we think are healthy enough to donate sa lugar namin...Were 12 na na screen kaso ended up 5 lang pumasa...masaya pa nun kung cno pa yung mga payatot ang pumasa kumpara sa mga siga dun samin....yung isa inenterview pa lang namumutla na... We just gave them a round of Balut and water after the blood extraction and a fiesta lunch on the way back to Batangas😀

[bayen]

Same here. When my dad underwent surgery, a day before the surgery i called all my friends who were willing to donate para pang palet sa gagamitin for the surgery. Actually ang nangyari pa nga walang stock blood bank nung hospital so kung ano ung naproduce from the donors, yun ang ginamit

[jaggerx3]

Kailan mo need TS? May mga kakilala ako na mga police na trainee na kontak namin pag may kakilala ako na nangangailangan. PM me TS

[badkuk]

thanks po sa replies and offers ^_^

Seems he still needs to clear some tests before i-go yung surgery niya, so the schedule is still iffy. Actually mga healthy naman mga kamag anak ko, though i'm not sure they can meet the "no antibiotics/medications for 24 hours" requirement...and puro mga takot sa langgam kaya naghahanap ng alternative :D

[WallyWest]

Actually, mas maigi nga daw sa kalusugan ang mag-donate. Something about our body being forced to produce new blood. Parang change oil, I guess.

Aside from that:

May required number of hours of sleep

Weight requirement

Blood pressure

Here sa office twice a year nagpupunta Red Cross for blood letting, kaya regular ako nag dodonate.

I have that blue card, privilege nga daw nun pag nag need din ng dugo makakalapit ako sa Red Cross

Friends can also donate. Not only relatives.

Very true provided di subsob sa mabigat na trabaho yung donor. Bagay na bagay na maging donor sa mga taong pagod sa kakapahinga
