**MLA Citation: ** Anonymous. "Blood Supply and Demand." //The Lancet// 365 (June-July 2005): 2151. //ProQuest//. Web. 22 Feb. 2011. . **INFORMATION: ** Author’s credentials: N/A Scope and purpose of the work: The purpose of this article is to inform people of the need of clean blood donations worldwide and to convince the readers to donate themselves. Intended Audience: This article is intended for all people who are able to donate blood and all governments in hope they realize that all countries need a safe blood donation system which include blood screening. **SUMMARY ** Thesis or main idea: The author’s main argument is that the only way to ensure safe blood donations is to have blood donations be completely voluntary. Summary of main arguments: Some countries pay their donors, giving them an incentive to donate. However, donors are often withholding medical history so they can donate which can result in infectious blood circulating through the system. Another argument refers to the fact that there is this infectious blood circulating and people are becoming infected through transfusions. A third argument is that since money is being used to pay the donor there isn’t enough money going towards more ways to screen blood. And finally a few countries have been successful in making their blood system completely voluntary which just means that it is possible. **<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EVIDENCE ** <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Summary of evidence: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The author listed a lot statistics like: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“According to WHO, omitting such tests[blood screenings] causes up to 16 million HBV infections, 5 million HVC infections, and 160,000 cases of HIV worldwide every year” <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“South Africa and Zimbabwe have been successful in this respect: both countries maintain levels HIV contamination of donor blood below 0.5%, despite population rates of HIV infection that exceed 20%.” <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The author also highlights the importance of donating for a the greater good/ **<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EVALUATION ** <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of research: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I thought it was eye opening, but not enough information or relevance to my topic. <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of scope: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The article focuses more on donating and the effects of donating whether being paid for it or not rather the blood screening which is what I am interested in. <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of author bias: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The author is obviously advocating voluntary blood donations, but it is for a good purpose.

Other scientists have found changes in the red blood cells after being stored, “They form long chains, like miniature doughnuts stacked on one another," says study coauthor Eugene Blackstone. This makes it harder for them to fit through capillaries. Also research has shown that red blood cells lose the ability to change their shape easily and quickly. Therefore, the blood is unable to flow through properly and vessels are be obstructed which it potentially fatal. Consequently, as time passes it has been shown that the red blood cells are losing the chemical 2,3-DPG (for 2,3 diphosphoglycerate) that facilitate oxygen delivery to tissues. **<span style="color: #92d050; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">EVALUATION ** <span style="color: #92d050; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; line-height: normal;">Evaluation of research: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; line-height: normal;">Seppa does a great job in presenting his information.

The in 1667 on June 15th French physician Jean-Baptiste Denys (c. 1640-1704) transfused nine ounces of lamb's blood  into a 15-year-old boy. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"> Once injected into a recipient's body, a donor's blood  tended to coagulate (thicken), resulting in a fatal  transfusion  reaction. In 1901, Landsteiner published a paper describing a method of categorizing human blood  into three groups, or types: A, B, and C (later called O). In 1902, two of Landsteiner's assistants, Alfred von de Castillo and Adriano Sturli, found a fourth blood  type, AB. By identifying the blood  type of both donor and recipient in a  transfusion , it was now possible to use bloods that matched. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">After surgically exposing a patient's vein and a donor's artery, Crile clamped shut the vessels and attached a small tube as a connection between them. When the clamps were opened, blood  flowed from donor to recipient. American physician Edward Lindeman took the procedure out of the operating room in 1913 with a simple needle puncture technique that also allowed exact measurement of the amounts of blood  being transfused. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;">The first blood  bank was established by American physician Bernard Fantus (1874-1940) in 1937 at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. A method of preserving red blood  cells up to twenty-one days was developed in the 1940s. The African American surgeon Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950) discovered that plasma could be processed, reserved for a long time, and then transfused in place of whole blood  without regard to  blood  type.

Next the blood is processed, this entails the blood being scanned into a computer database; spun in a centrifuge to separate red cells, platelets, and plasma which are each tested and put into test tubes for further testing. Third is testing. During testing a dozen of tests are performed and the blood type is identified. If a test comes back positive, the blood is discarded and the donor is notified. Following testing is storage. After the blood samples have been the all clear of healthy blood, they are labeled and stored. Red cells are stored at in refrigerators at 6˚C for up to 42 days. Platelets are stored at room temperature in agitators for up to five days, and plasmas and cryos are frozen and stored in a freezer for up to one year. Finally the blood is distributed within twenty-four hours. **<span style="color: #ec97f3; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">EVALUATION ** <span style="color: #ec97f3; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Evaluation of research: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The quality of research was fantastic.

It is not just some banners asking you to donate but an actual person. It is a good idea to associate a donor day with an actual already significant day so that every year on that day there is a donation. It creates meaning for the donors and a ritual for the said organization. A motivator should have a sit down discussion with the members of the organization to give them a brief history, relay important information and to stress the importance of donating followed by a question and answer session. The blood drive should take place no longer than a week later so all the information is still fresh in the minds of the donors. Good ways to advocate donating are hanging posters, banners, leaflets, TV/newspaper announcements etc. Long term methods include a walk, rally, printed article, school education program, awareness camps, and competitions. Other methods include sending letters of thanks after donations, mailing a donor card promptly, printing blood donation slogans everywhere etc. To keep the blood coming after someone has donated, it is wise to stress that the staff be kind to the donors and treat them warmly to ensure their return. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> **<span style="color: #a8c6ea; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">EVALUATION **<span style="color: #a8c6ea; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: #a8c6ea; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Evaluation of research: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The research was great.

Evidence has been shown that incentives discourage long-term repeat donations, however, recruiters will not give them up. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> **<span style="color: #68c361; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">EVALUATION **<span style="color: #68c361; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: #68c361; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Evaluation of research: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The information provided in this summary was very helpful in understanding the recruitment process.

There should be adequate and qualified staff. At the state level, donor recruitment officers with good organizational, marketing and communication skills should be appointed. Donor retention is very important for getting regular and repeated voluntary blood donors for safe blood transfusions. Donors should be retained by giving them special care, a feeling of being an important person and reducing waiting period. A ‘thank you’ smile, ‘thank you’ letters and donor felicitation will go a long way in retaining voluntary non-remunerated donors. <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> **<span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">EVALUATION **<span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Evaluation of research: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This article was helpful, but I wish it gave more detail. <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Evaluation of scope: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It would have been nice if the article discussed ways to solve the brought up problems. <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Evaluation of author bias: <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There seemed to be no author biased, just cut to the chase facts about the reality of blood donor recruiting issues. <span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> **<span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">REFLECTION: **<span style="color: #ff47e9; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This article was very useful.
