Gennaio \u00e8 contrassegnato come il mese nazionale dei donatori di sangue per aumentare la consapevolezza sull'importanza della donazione di sangue. Quest\u2019anno ha un significato speciale in quanto il Paese si trova ad affrontare un\u2019emergenza di carenza, con le donazioni che hanno raggiunto il minimo storico negli ultimi due decenni.<\/p>\n

Secondo la Croce Rossa americana, il numero di persone che donano sangue attraverso l\u2019organizzazione no-profit \u00e8 diminuito di circa 40% negli ultimi 20 anni. Oltre al calo complessivo delle donazioni, le interruzioni nel processo di donazione del sangue tra Natale e Capodanno hanno portato ad un deficit<\/a> di circa 7.000 unit\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Le persone che hanno 17 anni (16 con il consenso dei genitori ove consentito dalla legge statale), pesano almeno 110 libbre e sono generalmente in buona salute possono donare il sangue negli Stati Uniti<\/p>\n

"Sebbene circa 66% della popolazione adulta statunitense sia idonea a donare sangue, solo 3% della popolazione dona sangue", ha detto la dott.ssa Jessica Jacobson, direttrice della Banca del sangue e della medicina trasfusionale presso il Bellevue Hospital-New York University Quotidiano medico<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Molte persone si astengono dal donare il sangue a causa di paure e incomprensioni sulla procedura. Qui, il dottor Jacobson cerca di sfatare alcuni miti comuni associati al processo per incoraggiare pi\u00f9 persone a donare il sangue.<\/p>\n

Mito#1 Donare il sangue fa ammalare, i donatori possono contrarre infezioni.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fatto: <\/strong>Le persone sane che donano il sangue non diventeranno meno sane in seguito e non vi \u00e8 alcun rischio di contrarre infezioni attraverso la donazione.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa donazione del sangue \u00e8 molto sicura. Ad ogni donatore viene prelevato un kit sterile monouso. Un donatore non \u00e8 esposto al sangue di nessun altro individuo. 95+% dei donatori non hanno effetti avversi. La maggior parte degli effetti collaterali, quando si verificano, sono lievi e comprendono lividi, sensazione di svenimento e irritazione dei nervi. Meno di 0,1% dei donatori di sangue sperimentano reazioni significative alla donazione di sangue che richiedono cure mediche", ha affermato il dottor Jacobson.<\/p>\n

Mito#2 Se stai assumendo farmaci, non puoi donare il sangue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fatto: <\/strong>Sebbene la maggior parte dei farmaci non renda non idonei alla donazione di sangue, alcuni farmaci possono squalificare alcuni individui dalla partecipazione al processo.<\/p>\n

Le persone con problemi di colesterolo e ipertensione hanno generalmente diritto a donare il sangue. Inoltre, i farmaci prescritti per queste condizioni generalmente non squalificano una persona dalla partecipazione alla donazione di sangue.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa donazione di sangue allogenico deve essere sicura sia per la persona che dona il sangue che per il ricevente. La FDA vieta alle persone che assumono determinati farmaci di donare il sangue per proteggere il ricevente. Le persone che assumono farmaci per prevenire o curare l\u2019infezione da HIV non hanno diritto a donare sangue allogenico\u201d, ha spiegato il dottor Jacobson.<\/p>\n

Trasfusione allogenica<\/a>, nota anche come trasfusione di sangue omologa, prevede la trasfusione tra un donatore compatibile e un paziente.<\/p>\n

Mito#3 Donare il sangue riduce le scorte di sangue <\/strong><\/p>\n

Fatto: <\/strong>Un adulto medio ha circa 10,5 litri di sangue nel proprio corpo e durante una sessione di donazione di sangue viene raccolto solo circa un litro di sangue. Il volume del sangue si ripristina e ritorna alla normalit\u00e0 entro 24 ore.<\/p>\n

Il sangue intero pu\u00f2 esserlo donato<\/a> una volta ogni otto settimane, mentre le piastrine possono essere donate due volte in sette giorni o fino a 24 volte in 12 mesi.<\/p>\n

\u201cQualcuno pu\u00f2 donare il sangue intero una volta ogni 56 giorni. Poich\u00e9 i globuli rossi in genere sopravvivono per circa 120 giorni, il tuo corpo produce continuamente nuovi globuli rossi. Ogni giorno il tuo corpo produce circa 10% delle tue piastrine. Anche i fattori della coagulazione dei globuli bianchi e altre proteine nel plasma vengono continuamente prodotti e sostituiti. Un adulto ha circa 10 litri di sangue e pu\u00f2 facilmente reintegrare il volume perso durante la donazione. Parte della valutazione di ciascun donatore prima della donazione di sangue consiste nel controllare il livello di emoglobina della persona per garantire che sia sicuro donare\u201d, ha affermato il dottor Jacobson.<\/p>\n

This year, it holds special significance as the country faces an emergency shortage, with donations reaching an all-time low in the past two decades.According to the American Red Cross, the number of people donating blood through the nonprofit has fallen by about 40% in the last 20 years. In addition to the overall decline in donations, interruptions in the blood donation process between Christmas and New Year's Day have led to a shortfall of approximately 7,000 units.People who are 17 years old (16 with parental consent where permitted by state law), weigh a minimum of 110 pounds and are in generally good health are eligible to donate blood in the U.S."Although roughly 66% of the U.S. adult population is eligible to donate blood, only 3% of the population donates blood," Dr. Jessica Jacobson, director of Blood Bank and Transfusion Medicine at Bellevue Hospital-New York University, told Medical Daily.Many people refrain from donating blood due to fear and misunderstandings about the procedure. Here, Dr. Jacobson tries to dispel some common myths associated with the process to encourage more people to donate blood.Myth#1 Donating blood makes you sick, donors can contract infection.Fact: Healthy people who donate blood will not become less healthy afterward, and there is no risk of catching infection through donation."Blood donation is very safe. Each donor is drawn with a sterile single-use kit. A donor is not exposed to the blood of any other individual. 95+% of donors have no adverse effects. Most side effects, when they occur are mild and include bruising, feeling faint, and nerve irritation. Less than 0.1% of blood donors experience significant blood donation reactions which require medical treatment," Dr. Jacobson said.Myth#2 If you are on any medication, you can't donate bloodFact: While the majority of medications do not make one ineligible for blood donation, certain medications may disqualify some individuals from participating in the process.People with cholesterol issues and high blood pressure are typically eligible to donate blood. Moreover, medications prescribed for these conditions generally do not disqualify a person from participating in blood donation."Donation of allogeneic blood must be safe for both the person donating the blood and the recipient. The FDA prohibits people taking certain medications from donating blood to protect the recipient. People taking medication to prevent or treat HIV infection are not eligible to donate allogeneic blood," Dr. Jacobson explained.Allogeneic transfusion, also known as homologous blood transfusion, involves transfusion between a compatible donor and a patient.Myth#3 Donating blood depletes one's blood supply Fact: An average adult has about 10.5 pints of blood in their body, and only about one pint of blood is collected during a session of blood donation. The blood volume replenishes and returns to normal within 24 hours.Whole blood can be donated once in eight weeks, while platelets can be donated twice in seven days or up to 24 times in 12 months."Someone can donate whole blood once every 56 days. Because red blood cells typically survive for about 120 days, your body is continually making new red blood cells. Each day your body makes about 10% of your platelets. White blood cell clotting factors and other proteins in plasma are also continually being made and replaced. An adult has about 10 pints of blood and can easily replenish the volume lost when donating blood. Part of evaluating each donor before blood donation is checking the person's hemoglobin level to assure that it is safe for them to donate," Dr. Jacobson said.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/it\/lesperto-del-mese-nazionale-dei-donatori-di-sangue-sfata-le-idee-sbagliate-sulla-donazione-di-sangue\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-01-12T07:36:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Scritto da\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Tempo di lettura stimato\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minuti\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"National Blood Donor Month: Expert Debunks Misconceptions About Blood Donation\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-01-12T07:36:41+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":608,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/01\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"Medical Daily\"],\"inLanguage\":\"it-IT\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/national-blood-donor-month-expert-debunks-misconceptions-about-blood-donation\\\/\",\"name\":\"National Blood Donor Month: Expert Debunks Misconceptions About Blood Donation -
