🌟This year, Blood G**o evolves with the changing times. In addition to research journals, we will now feature selected articles that tackle timely and relevant issues in transfusion medicine.

🌟This week, we ask an important question: What is the true age of eligibility for blood donors? Are older adults really excluded from donating?

🌟This article highlights the critical role of older donors in sustaining an adequate and resilient blood supply.

LEAN MONTHS PHENOMENON
🛑December to January creates a mismatch between blood supply and demand when donations slow down.

🎄During holidays, regular donors focus on travel and year-end commitments while schools, offices, and civic groups that normally host blood drives reduce their blood-letting activities.

🏥Hospital demand REMAINS CONSTANT.
🚨Emergencies, elective surgeries, childbirth, trauma, dialysis and cancer treatments do not take a holiday.

This January 2026, Blood G**o is focusing on BLOOD DONOR RECRUITMENT🩸

BE A BLOOD DONOR TODAY!
The Philippine Red Cross urges Filipinos to donate blood during these holiday lean months. "By donating blood, we can offer someone the true gift of life this season."🩸

2025 in Review
From to ,
we challenged myths, clarified practice, and made transfusion medicine make sense — one post at a time.

This year, we debunked ideas like:
❌ “Hb must be 10 g/dL before procedures”
❌ “One platelet unit fits all adults”
❌ “Plasma is universal”
❌ “Fever contraindicates transfusion”
❌ “Whole blood fixes everything”
❌ “Blood must always run through a large-bore IV”

And we replaced them with what matters most:
✔️ Patient-centered decisions
✔️ Component-specific transfusion
✔️ Evidence over habit

Because transfusion is not about habits — it’s about physiology, evidence, and patient safety.

myth-busting and evidence-based transfusion education.

Doki, ok lang po ba itransfuse ang PRBC na malapit ng maexpire?

🩸🛡️ : A safe blood transfusion isn’t just about matching blood types—it rests on five critical pillars.

From a reliable supply of safe blood, to rigorous testing, quality-controlled processing, appropriate clinical use, and a careful risk–benefit evaluation before every transfusion—each step protects the patient.

Miss one pillar, and safety is compromised. Get all five right, and transfusion becomes a powerful, life-saving therapy.
