Muscat: The Department of Blood Bank Services (DBBS) of the Oman Ministry of Health has suggested plasma-donates to those who have recovered from COVID-19.
Plasma is the largest component of our blood, which, when separated from the rest of the blood, is a mild yellow liquid. Plasma carries water, salts and enzymes and transports nutrients, hormones and proteins to the parts of the body that want it.
In a shared account on the DBBS social network, the Ministry of Health said the need for immune plasma was still urgent, as it is used for protocol to treat some critical cases of PATIENTS with COVID-19.
The series of public appeal messages also asked volunteers who had suffered the havoc of COVID19 to use their recovery to help other patients.
A given plasma unit can potentially help 3 patients, the memorandum says. The blood bank tries to do the task as convenient as you can imagine for blood donors by visiting many offices, factories and schools. “Even the busiest people take the time to donate when you avoid thinking about how smart your blood can make, we think you could make the decision that, after all, you’re not too busy to save less than 4 hours a year,” he said.
Plasma extraction is done through a device that collects and separates blood, which takes 40 to 60 minutes, and the donor can donate plasma once every 7 days.
Health Minister Dr. Ahmed Al Said said at one of the recent press meetings that the number of plasma donors reached 221 in August, while the total number of donors, who have donated more than 2011 sets since the start of the pandemic, reached 911, the minister reported. .
