Blood donation


Donating blood is a very important process that doesn't happen enough. The red crescent is one of the organisations that is responsible for taking blood donations. Many people benefit from blood donations, the steps for this are as follows.

First, the details are taken for the donor. Second, the cuff is put on the donors arm. Then, the blood pressure is taken to check if it's at a normal level. Next, the needle is inserted into the donors arm, but this should be done very carefully. After that, when enough blood is taken the needle is taken out gently. Next, the donor is given a roll of cotton to stop the blood from leaking out. After that, it is recommended the donor rests. Next, the donor will probably be given orange juice and cookie to stablise their blood sugar level. after that, the blood is taken and tested to make sure the blood is safe for use. Finally, the blood is refrigerated to keep it preserved.

If you go for a donation you will experience the points above, but don't be worried if it's slightly different since the doctors are experienced.
