How Different Types of Blood Donation Can Help You and Your Family in the Future

Every blood donation you make has an amazing impact in these troubled and uncertain times–it can save your life, or the life of a family member or close friend. But did you know there are different types of blood donation? The typical donation is one pint of whole blood, but special equipment allows us to collect parts of your blood separately. These parts are called blood components. This process is called apheresis. While apheresis donations take a little more of your time (from an extra 30 minutes to two hours depending on donation type), these special donations provide more flexibility and confidence that you can meet the needs of you and your family in the future.

Whole Blood Donation

During a whole blood donation, about one pint of your blood is collected. After we test it, the donation is separated into components, like red blood cells and plasma, to help patients in need. Patients helped: Most often trauma and surgery patients Recommended Blood Types: All types Total time: 1 hour Donation time: 15 minutes How often you can donate: Every 56 days up to 6 times a year.

Power Red or Double Red Cell Donation

A Power Red donation packs double the impact because the automated procedure collects a concentrated donation of red cells that can help twice as many patients, then returns your platelets and plasma to you. Patients helped: Pediatric patients, trauma or surgery patients, people with anemia Recommended Blood Types: O-, O+, A-, B- Total time: 1.5 hours Donation time: 40 to 45 minutes How often you can donate: Every 112 days up to 3 times a year

Platelet and Plasma Banking

Our staff may ask if you’d like to make a different type of blood donation at your appointment, based on your blood type.

You can also choose what type of donation you would like to make when scheduling an appointment.

Platelet Donation

Platelets help clot your blood and stop bleeding. During a platelet donation, an automated process removes your platelets and returns your red blood cells and plasma to you. Platelets must be transfused within a week, meaning platelet donors are needed frequently to ensure patients have enough for their treatments. Patients helped: Cancer patients, people with blood disorders, open-heart surgeries and organ transplants Recommended Blood Types: A+, B+, AB+ and AB- Total time: 2.5 to 3 hours Donation time: 2 hours How often you can donate: Every 7 days up to 24 times a year

Plasma Donation

Plasma is the liquid portion of blood. A plasma donation also uses an automated process to remove the plasma from your blood and return the red cells and platelets to your body. Patients helped: Patients in shock, those with severe burns or clotting disorders. Recommended Blood Types: AB+, AB- Total time: 1.5 to 2 hours Donation time: 30 to 45 minutes How often you can donate: Every 28 days up to 13 times a year
