Volunteer blood donation following orthopedic surgery may occur as soon as the surgical site has healed and any prophylactic antibiotic therapy has been completed. If transfusion of blood products was required or cadaveric tissue grafts were used (bone, ligament, etc), the potential donor must wait one year after the surgery date.

What blood group could a blood type AB donate to?
AB red cell donations can only be given to AB recipients. But whole blood donations are separated into different products and AB plasma can be given to other blood groups
How can you derive blood from plasma?
By using a centrifuge. I donate platelets, not whole blood and it is done by this method. They spin out what they need. whole blood donations can also be split to help as many as three different patients. You can't derive blood from plasma. You can derive plasma from blood all day long, but you can't derive a whole (blood) from a part (plasma).
How often in a week can you donate blood?
Giving whole blood, you have to wait 56 days between your donations. If you donate plasma, you may donate every 28 days. If you donate platelets, you can donate every 7 days, with a limit of 24 times per year. If you donate double red cells, you must wait 112 days before you donate next. Double red cell donors must meet certain weight, height and hemoglobin (iron) requirements.APPEAL TO INDIANS Blood Donation is the biggest donation in the world. As we all know, tragedy occurs every other day and we hear about blood shortages. We cannot let people die short of blood. Our blood can give life to someone, someday. Hence, it is our duty as an Indian to stand up to the situation.
How offtenly you can donate the blood?
In the US, whole blood can be donated every 56 days (8 weeks), platelets up to 24 times a year and volunteer plasma as determined by each independent blood collection facility. Source plasma collection (paid plasma donations) vary on frequency of collection, depending on the need.
Donating your blood for your own use?
Autologous blood donations are very common. Current FDA guidelines allow patients to donate as many whole blood units as needed (within the 42 day shelf life of AS-1 red cell units) as long as the pre donation hematocrit is 33% or higher. Most facilities do not recommend autologous donations within 7 days of the scheduled surgical procedure. AABB.org FDA.gov
Can a person taking iron supplements donate blood?
Yes. While occasional whole blood donations will generally have little effect on iron levels and body stores, frequent donations may decrease these amounts. Recently, the FDA has discussed the possibility of raising the the minimum hemoglobin or hematocrit levels for volunteer blood donation, or increasing the time allowed between donations, in response to lowered donor iron. Current guidelines require a pre-donation hematocrit of 38% or hemoglobin level of 12.5 g/dL. Whole blood donations may be given every 56 days, while double red cell donations require a 112 day deferral. Therapeutic phlebotomy is very effective in preventing iron toxicity in hemochromatosis patients and decreasing red cell mass in red cell hyperplasia/polycythemia vera patients.
How to make platelet rich plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma - is simply plasma containing platelets. When a person donates blood, it's separated in a laboratory into its components... Red blood cells - which are used to treat anaemia. White blood cells - used to boost a person's immune system. Platelets - used to help stop bleeding. Plasma - used to restore a patient's blood pressure after an accident etc. Plasma will usually contain just small amounts of platelets - unless they've been 'harvested' specifically. Blood donors with naturally-high platelet counts can be asked to donate just platelets (instead of 'whole' blood). Their blood is separated at the time of donation by a small centrifuge by their bed - and the 'unused' components of blood are returned to their body.

What is platelet concerntrate universal donor?
Blood type AB is the universal donor for platelets and plasma. Blood types A and B are also universal donors for platelets. Blood type O is the universal donor for red blood cells/whole blood. Platelet concentrate is given to patients who have clotting problems or with thrombocytopenia, and commonly used for leukemia/cancer treatments and bone marrow transplants.
How come if people with AIDS don't donate blood people who use donated blood sometimes get AIDS?
All blood donations are screened well before use, but even with the tests used there is still a slight (one in tens of millions) chance that an infected lot will get through. There is also the risk of getting HIV/AIDS from the transfusion and not the blood itself; recipients are just as likely to get the disease from other sources as the whole procedure.
After how much duration of time you can again give blood donation?
The Red Cross and similar organizations require that you wait 56 days (8 weeks) between blood donations.
Will the B antibody in the plasma donor blood group A agglutinate the A antigen of the AB recipient and Why?
Yes. A person with blood group antibody B can not donate blood to another person with group A because it will agglutinates as they blood group A can only be donated to to a person with blood group A. Even though you donate whole blood, all of it is not given unless you both have the exact blood type. A person with A type (who has B antibodies in their plasma) will only donate their cells. No antibodies will be given. So AB can be given A but without the plasma which has the antibodies.
