INTRODUCTION

BLOOD BANK

Transfusion medicine is a multidisciplinary area concerned with the proper use of blood and blood components in the treatment of human diseases. The Department of Transfusion Medicine at this Institute has facility to provide blood transfusion services, to train medical and Para-medical personnel in related areas and to function as an apical medical and research department in the state in this field. A resolve for total dependence on voluntary blood donation and routine preparation of blood components are principal hallmarks of the department. According to the principles of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) strict adherence to quality control at all phases of donor selection, donor room procedures, screening and processing of blood, and serological procedures for grouping and typing of blood are followed. The facility is licensed by the Drugs Controller of India. 

WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE BLOOD :

Blood center at KMIO needs at least 50 blood donors every day to meet the transfusion needs of patients at this hospital. With increase in population and incidence of cancer the need for blood is ever increasing. Majority of Patients in our hospital are from outside Bangalore and many a times from out of the state and hence find it difficult to arrange donors when the onus lies on them. There is no substitute for blood. Only blood donors can help maintain an adequate supply of blood to save the lives of those who need it. When you donate blood, you give a second chance at life to someone unknown to you. One does not know who will need blood transfusion tomorrow, it could be you or your friend or dear one. Less than 1% of the eligible Indian population donates blood every year this is far less than average rate of 5% in the Western world. When you donate blood, you become part of an exceptional group that is dedicated to alleviate the human suffering.

There are number of ways you can support the blood center’s commitment to saving lives. You can donate blood yourself and get the thrilling experience of saving someone’s life, or relate your experience to your friends / colleagues and motivate them to become regular blood donors like yourself. You can also organize a blood donation camp, either in the center itself or in the city. You are only a few steps away from saving a life. Donate blood today.

FACILITIES

1. Blood Processing Laboratory :

Tests for determining the ABO group & Rh type, detecting unexpected antibodies to red cell antigens, confirmation of Rh negative status & Du testing, resolving ABO discrepancies, cross match etc.

2. Blood Component Laboratory : 

Blood is a precious human resource. To maximize its utility, every unit of blood is separated into various components, such as packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma, Platelets, cryoprecipitate and cryo-deficient plasma, etc. Buffy coat reduced red cell and platelets are also produced. The component separation program is supported by National AIDS Control Organization.

3. Transfusion Transmitted Infection Screening Laboratory : 

Provision of safe blood is of utmost priority. Every unit of blood & component is screened for HbsAg, anti-HIV1&2, anti-HCV, syphilis and malaria.

4. Immunohematology Laboratory :

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia workup and Tests for cold antibodies are done when necessary. Detecting unexpected antibodies to red cell antigens, confirmation of Rh negative status & Du testing, resolving ABO discrepancies cross match etc.

5. Gamma Irradiation :

Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease (TA-GvHD) is a rare but highly lethal complication resulting from engraftment, proliferation and immunologic attack of recipient tissues by transfused donor T lymphocytes. To prevent this dreaded complication, all cellular blood components should be gamma irradiated. In the department of Transfusion Medicine at KMIO, blood is irradiated using Cesium-137 in a self-contained gamma irradiator. A dose of 2500 rad is delivered to eliminate all lymphocytes from cellular components.

6. Therapeutic Phlebotomy :

We provide therapeutic Phlebotomy to patients with Polycythemia and other hyper viscosity syndromes.
