This document provides a detailed guide on blood products, covering their collection, processing, storage, and clinical applications. Key highlights include:

• Collection: Phlebotomy from voluntary donors, with strict donor selection (medical history, hemoglobin levels) and standardized volume collection (350–450 mL per donor).

• Processing: Centrifugation to separate whole blood into components—Red Blood Cells (RBCs), plasma, platelets, and cryoprecipitate—for targeted treatments (anemia, coagulation disorders, trauma).

• Storage Conditions:

  • Whole blood: 2–6°C (35–42 days).

  • Plasma: –18°C or lower (1 year).

  • Platelets: 20–24°C (5–7 days).

• Specialized Products:

  • Dried Plasma: Lyophilized for long-term storage, used in emergencies and military medicine.

  • Plasma Substitutes: Crystalloids (saline, Ringer’s lactate) and colloids (albumin, dextran) for volume replacement (without oxygen transport).
