MD0867 iii CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0867 BLOOD DONOR OPERATIONS I Blood for transfusion is a biologically active therapeutic substance. It has specific effects on the human organism and dosage requirements just as any other therapeutic substance. Blood differs, however, from other biologicals in that it must be obtained from healthy individuals of the human race. The 1980's brought increasing complexity of blood banking operations and problems associated with assessment and management practices for donor suitability, deferral, and adherence to appropriate testing practices and prevention of inappropriate release of blood and blood components. The responsibilities of those who collect, process, and issue blood for transfusion are tremendous. Blood transfusion attempts are recorded as far back as the 16th century.
