Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. More than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day in the U.S. A total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year.
Some more facts:
• A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.
• The most required blood type is type O.
• Type O-negative blood (red cells) can be transfused to patients of all blood types. This type is always in demand and always in short supply.
• Type AB- positive plasma can be transfused to patients of all other blood types. AB –positive plasma is also in short supply.
• Blood cannot be manufactured. It can only come from generous donors like you.
