Are there side effects from platelet donation?
* As with whole blood donation, bruising or fainting can occur. * Each time you donate, 80-100ml of blood is lost for sampling and in the tubing. Your blood will be tested at every visit to make sure you are not anaemic and to check your platelet count. * To avoid clotting during the donation an anticoagulant is automatically added as your blood flows into the machine. A small proportion of this citrate solution is returned to you and mixed with your own red cells. * Although it is immediately neutralised on return to you, occasionally it can cause a tingling sensation around the mouth and fingers, or a metallic taste or feeling of vibration. This is not dangerous and provided you inform the staff supervising the donation, it is easily overcome by adjusting the machine settings. * Very occasionally some donors remark that their arm feels cold when the red cells are returned but the majority of donors have no sensation of the blood being returned at all. * As with all automated equipment, the cell separator machine may, occasionally not operate properly. But these machines have comprehensive fail safe devices to protect donors. If a machine does fail, one possibility is that the blood left in the machine will not be returned to you. The maximum you would lose in this event, is equivalent to half a blood donation (230ml) and is harmless, but you will have to wait for 2 months before you can donate platelets again. * And Finally..... Do remember that as a volunteer you may withdraw from the programme at any time if you wish. However if you do find that platelet donation is not for you, we very much hope you will return to donating whole blood. For further information contact 0845 7 711 711
Roles of a nurse during blood donation?
