Collection of Blood or Components
This procedure of collection of platelets and FFP is the same as blood. The only difference is the storage and transport temperature. The full procedure is discussed in the Transfusion Policy (available on the Trust Intranet). Only those trained and assessed as competent in the procedure can collect blood and blood components. The procedure is also prominently displayed in the blood bank issue areas. Only one unit of blood can be collected at a time. Exceptions are generally associated with emergencies in theatres, Critical Care Units or Accident and Emergency. When components of different types are collected at the same time they should be carried in separately.
