Question 1

Who needs packed red blood cells most often in Sirsa?

Accepted Answer

Thalassaemia patients receive monthly PRBC transfusions for life. Cancer patients on chemotherapy, dialysis patients, women with severe postpartum bleeding, and surgical patients also routinely need PRBC. Sirsa's blood banks supply these regularly.

Question 2

Can I donate PRBC directly?

Accepted Answer

Not directly through standard whole-blood donation — your unit is separated into PRBC + plasma + platelets at the blood bank. Through apheresis (double-red-cell donation) you can give two units of red cells in one visit. Apheresis donation has a longer cooldown (168 days).
