1, the physical requirements for donating blood (special attention is paid to the fact that some people can not donate blood for the time being)
2, precautions before donating blood (mainly there are some things that can not be eaten, but you have to eat before you can donate)
3, precautions after donating blood (and do not pay attention to it intentionally, heh.
Another note on blood donation intervals
Whole blood donation: six months between each donation.
Because it takes about 120 to 150 days for one of the slowest recovering components of whole blood to recover, a six-month interval (180 days) is used to protect the donor.
The interval between component blood donations is related to the component being donated:
Platelets: one month interval, one month to fully recover to the pre-donation state
Hematopoietic stem cells: this generally does not exist in the interval any more, and very few people have the opportunity to donate twice, huh, but this recovery is about a week or two.
I. Why advocate blood donation
Blood is an important material to save the lives of the sick and wounded, so far it is still impossible to artificially manufacture, can only rely on * people with love to provide. Whenever people donate their own precious and limited blood without any compensation, in exchange for the continuation of other people's lives or new life, our society will have a more caring. Advocating free blood donation is a life-saving need, a reflection of social civilization and progress.
Only by donating blood free of charge can the ills brought about by paid blood supply be fundamentally eliminated, the quality of blood be guaranteed, the safety of blood recipients be fully ensured, and the risk of blood-borne diseases be minimized.
II. Does blood donation affect health?
The total blood volume of a normal person is about 8% of his body weight. The blood that flows through the blood vessels normally accounts for only 70-80% of the total blood volume, and some of it is stored in the bone marrow, liver, spleen, and other "blood reservoirs" for replenishment to the circulation in case of emergencies. In general, a loss of blood of no more than 10% of the total blood volume does not affect health. For example, a person weighing 50 kilograms donates 200 milliliters of blood at a time, which is only 5% of the total blood volume, and the water and inorganic salts in blood are replenished by the tissues and seep into the blood vessels within 1-2 hours after the donation of blood and do not have the slightest effect on health. This conclusion is based on scientific evidence and is confirmed by tens of millions of blood donations made every year all over the world. Therefore, donating blood in accordance with the regulations will not affect your health.
Three. What are the health benefits of blood donation?
1Donating blood will stimulate the blood-forming organ, the bone marrow, to accelerate the production of blood cells, making the blood-forming function more vigorous and promoting the body's metabolism, which is conducive to health.

3Donating blood can reduce the concentration of lipids and cholesterol, lower the viscosity of blood, dilute blood, accelerate the speed of blood flow, and improve the blood supply to the heart, brain and other organs.
4Scientific and regular blood donation, due to lipid, cholesterol reduction, blood flow acceleration, blood fat, heavy metals and other substances in the blood will not be easy to deposit, adhere to the blood vessel wall, can prevent blood vessel elasticity decline, hardening, and play a role in preventing and controlling high blood pressure, thrombosis, cardio-cerebral and cerebral vascular diseases and cancer.
Four. What should I do before donating blood?
Please make the following preparations before donating blood: learn the knowledge of blood donation, eliminate the fear, don't have an empty stomach before donating blood, but don't eat greasy food, a low-fat diet should be appropriate, don't take medication before donating blood, such as taking aspirin in three days will reduce the function of platelets, get enough sleep, don't stay awake for fluids.

Carrying out targeted publicity
I. The Taiwan Blood Donor Movement Association compiled and printed publicity folders in response to 11 questions frequently asked by the public, which were very effective. These 11 questions and answers are:
1. What is blood donation?
A: Blood is a living cell, which so far cannot be manufactured artificially. Therefore, the blood needed for medical treatment can only be provided by *human beings with love.
Blood donation means that our compatriots, in the spirit of mutual assistance, donate their own blood to save those who need blood transfusion.
2. How can I donate blood when I am anemic myself?
A: Many people think they are anemic. In fact, whether you are anemic or not can only be determined after you have measured the number and shape of your hematocrit and red blood cells.
3. Will the blood donation center take my donated blood and sell it?
A: This is not possible. Blood donation centers do not pay blood donors; each bag of tested and qualified blood is transferred to the patients by credit. The material cost of NT$500 per unit (250 ml) of whole blood is used to cover the costs of blood bags, testing, conservation, publicity, expansion of equipment, personnel and office expenses. The reason why blood donation centers charge these fees when supplying blood is to carry out the purpose of serving the public for a long time.
4. Will blood donation affect my physical strength?
A: The amount of blood in a person's body is about 1/13 of his body weight. A person weighing 70 kilograms has about 5000 milliliters of blood in his body. In other words, donating 250 ml of blood at one time only accounts for 1/20 of the blood volume of the whole body. Moreover, as I said earlier, after donating blood, it can help the metabolism of blood, which can usually be replenished all the way back within a short period of time. Therefore, as long as you can pass the pre-donation health check, blood donation is absolutely no harm to the body.
5. I'm afraid of pain, will it hurt to donate blood?
A: The needle inserted into the blood vessel will have a little pain (only half a second), but the price you pay is to save another life, think about it, you will care about that moment of pain?
6. I would love to donate blood, but I am too busy to do so.
A: If you are in urgent need of a blood transfusion and someone says so, how do you feel? Is your life worth 10 minutes of someone else's time? And is someone else's life worth ten minutes of your time?
7. Is blood donation contagious?
A: This is absolutely impossible to happen. Because the needles and blood bags used in the blood donation center have gone through a rigorous sterilization process, each donor uses a new blood bag, and the needles are cut off on the spot after the blood is collected, and then discarded after the collection and autoclaving. Therefore, blood donation is absolutely safe and will not cause any infections.
8. My blood is very rare, I have to wait until someone needs it.
A: Blood donation centers now have red blood cell freezing equipment to freeze rare blood.
If you are a person with rare Rh-negative blood, I hope you can take the initiative to register at the Blood Donor Center, so that you can be contacted at any time when there is a patient who needs this kind of blood. If you are a rare Rh-negative blood donor, I hope you will take the initiative to register with the Blood Donor Center so that you can be contacted whenever a patient is in need of such blood. From the patient's point of view, the rarest blood type is the one that is not available when someone needs it.
9. Can people who take birth control pills donate blood?
A: Contraceptive pills do not directly affect the blood. Any woman who is taking contraceptive pills can donate blood as long as she is eligible to do so.
10. Isn't it too much of a loss for the company to let employees donate blood during work hours?
A: Now that many business organizations have joined our regular blood donation program, these caring employers are more than happy to cover the losses incurred by their employees who donate blood during working hours. In fact, it takes only ten minutes for a person to donate blood if everything is organized properly.
11. I don't need to donate blood because I'm physically fit; I don't need to use blood, and even if I did, I have the money to buy it with.
A: Have you ever heard of the saying, "There is a time and a place for everything"? Yes, you have enough money to buy blood from professional blood sellers. But remember, money is no substitute for blood, and when a patient is in critical condition, it doesn't matter how much money you have, he must have blood.
The Australian Red Cross, based on its many years of experience in publicizing blood donation, has summarized the concerns of those who do not participate in blood donation activities into 25 non-problematic "questions" and has provided brief answers, hoping that these answers will relieve some of the concerns of those who do not participate in blood donation activities and will no longer be a hindrance to the "problem" of blood donation. "The problem is that the blood donation is not a problem, but it is a problem for the people who don't want to donate.
1. Is there excess blood in the body?
The average adult has 4 - 5 liters of blood (4,000 - 5,000 ml), of which about 80% flows through the circulatory system and about 20% is stored for replenishment. It is safe for healthy people to donate blood on a regular, moderate basis, 200--400 ml per donation, 3--4 times a year.
2. Can blood be replenished quickly after donation?
Blood volume is replenished quickly. In fact, when you leave the blood station, your organism has already begun to replenish, and in just a few hours, the blood volume will reach the normal level, not only without any discomfort, but also can engage in normal work.
3. Is O-type blood a universal blood? Which blood type is most useful?
Every type of blood is very useful. type O blood is universal, people in emergency situations, there is no blood of the right type of blood, you can use type O blood instead, but in general, should also be the same type of transfusion. In addition, the rarer the blood type, the less likely it is to be available when you need it, and the more valuable it is.
4. What if I am nervous about donating blood?
Everyone gets a little nervous the first time they give blood, but nothing really happens. There are many people who have donated blood more than 50 or 100 times. Donating blood is not a mystery, you just have to try it once and you will experience that it is a very simple process.
5. What if I am anemic?
Every blood donor is tested for anemia at the blood station. The method is very simple, just take a drop of blood, less than a minute to measure the level of your hemoglobin. If it's lower than normal, you won't be allowed to donate blood, and you'll have to undergo further tests to help you analyze the type of anemia and find out the cause of the anemia.
6. Will I get dizzy after donating blood?
There is a psychological effect here. If you rest for a few minutes after donating blood, you will not feel sick. In fact, the amount of blood donated is only a small part of the body, and has no effect on normal blood circulation. If you are still not sure, you can ask a few friends to come along and the mood will become very relaxed.
7. What if I am afraid of needles?
Please believe that donating blood will not cause you pain. You won't feel anything when you collect blood. All you have to do is look at the ceiling and think about the little things you do in your daily life.
8. What if I can't get to the blood center easily?
The Red Cross Blood Services will try to make it as convenient as possible for you. In addition to the central blood station, there are also mobile blood collection vehicles to many locations in the city or rural areas, you just need to arrange the time can be.
9. It's not too late to donate blood when you have an accidental injury, right?
Accidental injuries can happen at any time, but there are many difficulties in getting blood on the spot because of technical problems (such as getting blood tests done) and because it is not easy to find a blood donor in a short period of time. The spirit of donating blood in times of crisis is commendable, but the most effective rescue is to have enough blood reserves.
10. What if I am taking medication?
Please go to the blood station to have a laboratory test. Some medications do not affect blood donation, while others may delay your donation.
11. Can I get infected with a contagious disease by donating blood?
Please rest assured that the equipment in the blood station is strictly sterilized, and some utensils are disposable, which can absolutely guarantee that you will not be infected with any disease when you donate blood.
12. What if I have hepatitis?
Not everyone who has hepatitis can't donate blood. A test will tell you whether your blood carries the hepatitis virus and whether you are physically fit to donate blood.
13. What if I am afraid of seeing blood?
There is no need to worry, you will not be able to see blood when taking blood, but only the smile of the medical staff.
14, already donated blood, can not give it?
Thank you for your selfless dedication in the past, but due to the development of medical science and the need to rescue patients, and now still need your dedication, your blood will bring endless gospel to the patient.
15. Shouldn't blood donation be paid?
Your blood donation is a priceless and noble gift. In some countries, blood is bought and sold as a commodity on the market. Experience has shown that this can be very harmful to the health of both the donor and the patient.
16. Is there too much alcohol in the blood of people who love to drink?
Even though you love to drink, you are welcome to donate blood. But you should come when you are sober, when your blood is normal.
17. What if I can't get away from my kids?
It doesn't matter, you can bring your kids to the blood station. In addition to having lots of toys for them to play with, it's also a good education for them to watch adults donate blood.
18. What about foreigners who don't speak the language?
The blood bank has instructions and promotional materials in many languages to help you donate blood, and can get you an interpreter if necessary.
19. What if my blood is not good?
It's better to get a lab test done first, you just need to hold out your arm for a few minutes. Also, all blood is tested and examined before it is sent to the hospital.
20. What if I'm too busy at work?
The shortest interval between blood donations is 3 months, so if you stop working and think about the health and happiness your blood will bring to the patients, I believe you will find time to donate blood.
21. What about physical activity?
Regular exercise means that you are in good health and have good conditions for donating blood. Donating blood will not affect your physical exercise, but will only bring vitality to the patients who need blood.
22. What if I have been sick recently?
Of course, you can't donate blood until you have recovered. If you come to the blood bank, please tell the doctor about your medical history and you will be given the necessary physical examination.

Blood donors weigh more than 45 - 50 kilograms. If you don't believe in it, you can weigh yourself after blood donation.
24. Is it true that after donating blood once, I have to keep on donating blood?
After donating blood, the body will not produce blood at an abnormal rate, and you will not be forced to keep donating blood due to overproduction of blood, because donating blood once will have the same effect on the body's hematopoietic function as having a nosebleed, going through menstruation, or suffering from a small trauma.
25. What if I want to donate blood but don't have enough courage?
Take courage, you dedicate blood, reflecting your humanitarian spirit, for the critical condition of the baby, the accident injured, many patients waiting for surgery ...... means another life.
