The amount of whole blood in a unit has been
450 mL +/- 10% of blood
For a 110 lb donor, a maximum of (?) can be collected
525 mL
Total blood volume for most adults:
10 to 12 pints
Donors can replenish the fluid lost from the donation of
1 pint in 24 hours.
The donor’s red cells are replaced within (?) after donation.
1 to 2 months
A volunteer donor can donate blood every
8 weeks.
Units of the whole blood can be separated into three components:
Packed red blood cells, platelets, and plasma
The plasma can be converted by cryoprecipitation to a clotting factor concentrate that is rich in
antihemophilic factor.
A unit of whole blood-prepared RBCs may be stored for (?), depending on the anticoagulant-preservative solution.
21 to 42 days
The donation process, especially (?), has been carefully modified over time to allow for the rejection of donors who may transmit transfusion-associated disease to recipients.
steps 1 and 2
The (?) is safer than it has ever been because of the donation process and extensive laboratory screening (testing) of blood.
nation’s blood supply
The use of (?), licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2002, is one reason for the increased safety of the blood supply.
nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT)
THE DONATION PROCESS 3 STEPS:
Step 1: Educational Materials
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
Step 3: The Abbreviated Physical Examination
(?) that contains information on the risks of infectious diseases transmitted by blood transfusion, including the symptoms and sign of AIDS, is given to each prospective donor to read.
Step 1: Educational Materials
designed to ask questions that protect the health of both the donor and the recipient, is given to every donor.
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
uniform donor history questionnaire,
is used to identify donors who have been exposed to diseases that can be transmitted in blood.
Step 2: The Donor Health History Questionnaire
Health History Questionnaire
(?) for donors includes blood pressure, pulse, and temperature readings; hemoglobin or hematocrit level; and the inspection of the arms for skin lesions.

Three areas of RBC biology are crucial for normal erythrocyte survival function:
- Normal chemical composition and structure of the RBC membrane
- Hemoglobin structure and function
- RBC metabolism
- main lipid component of the membrane
Phospholipids
arranged in a bilayer structure comprising the framework in which globular proteins traverse and move.
Phospholipids
The biochemical composition of the RBC membrane is approximately
52% protein, 40% lipid, and 8% carbohydrate.
: The loss of RBC membrane is exemplified by the formation of spherocytes and bite cells.
Deformability
: The RBC membrane is freely permeable to water and anions.
Permeability
The RBC membrane is relatively impermeable to cations such as
sodium and potassium
The erythrocyte intracellular-to- extracellular ratios for Na+ and K+ are (?), respectively
1:12 and 25:1
Goal of Blood preservation
To provide (?) for patients requiring blood transfusion.
viable and functional blood components
To maintain optimum viability, blood is stored in the liquid state between (?) for a specific number of days, as determined by the preservative solution(s) used.
1oC and 6oC
The loss of RBC viability has been correlated with the (?) which is associated with various biochemical changes.

Preserving solutions that are added to the RBCs after removal of the plasma with or without platelets.
ADDITIVE SOLUTIONS
reduce hematocrits from around 70% to 85% to around 50% to 60%.
ADDITIVE SOLUTIONS
The additive solution is contained in a (?) and is added to the RBCs after most of the plasma has been expressed.

Benefits of RBC Additive Solutions:
- Extends the shelf-life of RBCs to (?) by adding nutrients
- Allows for the harvesting of more (?) from the unit
- Produces an RBC concentrate of (?) that is easier to infuse
