Study Notes
Polycythemia and Therapeutic Phlebotomy
- Some individuals referred for therapeutic phlebotomy are as healthy as volunteer blood donors, such as those with hereditary hemochromatosis.
- True patients require close medical supervision during the therapeutic phlebotomy process.
Physical Examination for Blood Donation
- General Appearance: Defer donation if the donor looks ill, appears intoxicated, or is excessively anxious.
- Temperature: A donor's temperature must not exceed 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) to be eligible.
- Pulse: Should be regular, with a frequency between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
- Brucellosis: Donors with a history of brucellosis are deferred for 2 years following their last febrile episode.
Blood Donation Eligibility Statements
- Hepatitis C History: A donor with a history of hepatitis C is permanently deferred from donating blood.
- Anemia and Blood Loss: Donors with inadequate oxygen-carrying capacity due to anemia or blood loss are not eligible.
- Coagulation Concerns: Insufficient coagulation proteins or platelets may hinder adequate hemostasis and affects donor eligibility.
