this slide will help you to understand the blood banking and immunohematology

1. BLOOD BANKING
AND
IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY

2. BLOOD BANKING

3. Blood banking – refers to the process of
collecting, separating, and
storing blood.
-collect blood and separate
into various components so they
can be used most effectively
according to the needs of the
patient.

5. Charles Richard Drew
– (June 3, 1904 – April 1, 1950) was an American
physician, surgeon, medical researcher. He
researched in the field of blood transfusion,
developing improved techniques for blood storage
and applied his expert knowledge to developing
large- scale blood banks early World War II.

6. Importance of BLOOD BANK in the hospitals:
- Blood banks usually organize drives for blood

obviously work closely with hospitals, and take
care of their daily blood related needs from
accidents and others complication.

7. How long can you keep blood
in a blood bank?

8. - When the test result are received, units
suitable for transfusions are label and stored.
Red Blood Cells are stored in refrigerators at
6°C for 42 days. Platelets are stored in at room
temperature in agitators for up to five days.
Plasma and Cryo are frozen and stored in
freezers for up one year.

9. Which organ is known as the
Blood Bank of human body?

10. Spleen - is the organ responsible for purifying
blood as well as storing blood cells. It is
know as a blood bank because its blood
reserve can be valuable in case of
haemorrhagic shocks.

11. IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY

12. Immunohematology term:
More commonly known as blood banking, is
branch of haematology which studies antigen-
anti body reactions and analogous phenomena
as they relate to the pathogenesis and clinical
manifestation of blood disorders. A person
employed in this field is referred to as an
immunohematologist.
