Consent to donate
(Volume adjustment) If the blood donor weighs less than 110 lbs:
Decrease the volume of blood collected:
Donor weight / Ideal weight X 450 mL = Volume of blood to draw (mL)
(Volume adjustment) If the blood donor weighs less than 110 lbs:
Anticoagulant adjustment - Amount needed:
Volume of blood to draw / 100 X 14 = Volume of anticoagulant needed (mL)
(Volume adjustment) If the blood donor weighs less than 110 lbs:
Anticoagulant adjustment - Anticoagulant removed:
63 mL - AC needed = AC to remove (mL)
Standard anticoagulant volume
63mL
