This shortfall leaves the Red Cross with half the readily available blood products on hand now than this time last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Cross is calling on all eligible blood donors &#8211; now more than ever &#8211; to roll up a sleeve and give as soon as possible. All blood types are needed, but especially O positive, O negative, B negative and A negative in order to meet patient demand this summer.<\/p>\n<p>An unseasonably early start to spring may be a contributing factor to this year&#8217;s decrease in donations. Many regular donors got an early start on summer activities and aren&#8217;t taking time to give blood or platelets. In addition, this year&#8217;s mid-week Independence Day holiday has reduced the number of scheduled Red Cross blood drives. Many sponsors, especially businesses, are unable to host drives because employees are taking extended vacations.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, patients don&#8217;t get a holiday from needing blood products. The need is constant. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Blood and platelets are needed for many different reasons, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, premature babies &#8211; when there are complications during childbirth &#8211; and for patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every day, the Red Cross must collect more than 17,000 pints of blood for patients at more than 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Of that, the Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region must collect approximately 500 pints per day,&#8221; said Sharyn Whitman, CEO of the American Red Cross Indiana-Ohio Blood Services Region, serving northern and central Indiana and northwestern Ohio. &#8220;We need donors to make appointments in the coming days and weeks to help us ensure that all patient blood needs can be met. Each pint of whole blood can help save more than one life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is always the chance that a physician could postpone an elective surgery if the needed blood products aren&#8217;t readily available or, in a worst case scenario, have to forego a more serious procedure because of a shortage of blood.&#8221; Whitman added. &#8220;Our goal is to ensure that doesn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/main\/index.php\/weblinksmenu\/67-nonprofit-organizations\/56-american-red-cross.html\">redcrossblood.org<\/span> to make an appointment or for more information.
