00:00Sir, in the case of Blood Bank's report, Family and Health Department, Ministry of Health Department,
00:07that in Chandigarh, the blood is very big for donation, but there are many cases of blood losses.
00:18So, this is the case of the blood donation, which is the amount of damage?
00:27What is the meaning of the blood loss data?
00:32Thank you very much.
00:33I think this is a very good question.
00:36In fact, I would like to thank all the voluntary blood donors.
00:42And I would like to tell this, even donors and the public,
00:48that this report's headline has been told that there is no risk.
00:53That is not the correct thing.
00:56I think those, that blood is unfit for transition.
00:59And there are the reasons that they are unfit.
01:01Because after the blood collection, we are testing the donor.
01:06In terms of HIV, HVV, HCV and malaria syphilis,
01:10which are the government of India's mandatory tests.
01:13And those units that are positive or reactive units,
01:17we have to discard them.
01:19Those are the government of India's guidelines.
01:21Besides that, there are certain instances,
01:25there are some instances where the donor is donating blood.
01:29Sometimes, when the donor is donating,
01:31there is adverse reaction to the donor.
01:33So, we have to stop donating.
01:35Although, the unit counts.
01:37And in the laboratory, sometimes,
01:39we have to handle a unit,
01:40because our blood is stored in different temperatures.
01:44For example, the red cells are 4 degrees.
01:46The platelets are 20 to 24 degrees.
01:49And the plasma components are minus 40 to minus 80 degrees.
01:53So, sometimes, when they are processing,
01:56when they are handling the unit,
01:58sometimes, they are spillage or anything.
02:00Although, our staff takes adequate care,
02:03but sometimes, due to that, those reasons,
02:06few of the units, I mean not alarming,
02:09but very few of the units,
02:10also are unfit for transfusion.
02:12So, considering all those things,
02:16this data is monthly given to our state blood transfusion council
02:21and subsequently transmitted to the ministry.
02:25And the calculation was done,
02:27it was wrong.
02:29The calculation was done with the overall collection,
02:30rather than the actual units,
02:33which had been basically discarded or unfit for transfusion.
02:38So, we call these units discarded
02:41in view of their non-fitness for transfusion.
02:45So, I would like to give you this clarification,
02:48that they have made the headline,
02:51that it is completely wrong.
02:53And there is a thing that is a good thing.
02:55So, people do not come to this,
02:59because as our collection is increasing,
03:01the reactivity patterns,
03:04as well as in Punjab,
03:05the positivity of hepatitis C is a lot more.
03:07So, our majority of the donors are Punjab and Haryana.
03:10So, they are increasing.
03:11But our positive and reactive donors are also increasing.
03:16So, we have to discard our blood,
03:18so it is very clear.
03:20So, it is very clear.
03:20So, we have to project that data
03:22in a wrong way.
03:25So, I think I just want to convey through your channel,
03:31that this is the wrongly projected information,
03:34that it will not come to the hospital.
03:37And I again,
03:39voluntary blood donors,
03:40and the residents of Chandigarh and adjoining states,
03:45I would again request them to be committed for regular voluntary blood donation,
03:50and keep through you only.
03:53We can help patients admitted in various emergencies and wards in the industry.
03:58Thank you very much.
04:00But sir, one more thing is,
04:02if you talk about PJ,
04:04there are advanced services here,
04:08there are all kinds of services here.
04:10So, what kind of blood you can store this amount,
04:15and how many things are used to be used to be used for this amount,
04:28that we collect in two or three components.
04:34So, we have 600 to 700 units to issue.
04:38In that way,
04:39we have about 400 to 500 requisitions,
04:41because as you can see,
04:43our maternal child center has also opened,
04:46neurosciences have also opened,
04:47and cardiac center has also opened.
04:50So, this is the patient's inflow.
04:54As you can see,
04:55and as the patient's hope,
04:58we are seeing our collection as well,
05:01so that,
05:02we don't need to be able to get any patient for any patient.
05:06So, considering all those facts,
05:09we are trying to manage our collection,
05:12and escalating it further.
05:15And regarding storage and all those things,
05:18we have adequate capacity of all types,
05:21to store all blood components.
05:23Because, as I have told you,
05:25there are 400 to 500 units requisitions,
05:27and there are issues,
05:28and we build a buffer stock,
05:31so that,
05:32at the end of the month,
05:34we have somewhere around 800 to 1000 units,
05:37in buffer stock.
05:38So, that,
05:39in case of any emergency,
05:40because,
05:41PJ being a large nursery care institute,
05:44so,
05:45if there is an emergency,
05:46or an eventuality,
05:47then,
05:47we manage the war-like situation,
05:49or disaster situation,
05:51we manage the supply,
05:54we have to keep ourselves ready for that.
05:57So,
05:58one more question,
05:59what is the age of blood,
06:01or the collection,
06:02what is the time of blood loss,
06:05because,
06:05the data of blood loss,
06:07that is also an important part,
06:09that,
06:09that,
06:10if,
06:10the time of blood,
06:11the time of blood,
06:14because,
06:14the time of blood loss,
06:14you will have,
06:15how much time,
06:16and,
06:16how much time,
06:17to reserve it,
06:19after the time of blood loss,
06:21the way I told you,
06:22there are different components,
06:25red cells,
06:25platelets,
06:26plasma,
06:27we can keep,
06:27with red cells,
06:28we keep,
06:2825 to 42 days,
06:31we can keep,
06:31in 4 degrees,
06:33so,
06:33we keep platelets,
06:34we keep,
06:35until we keep,
06:36and,
06:37we keep,
06:38for years,
06:39So these are different storage conditions and on different temperatures like red cells
06:54I said 4 degree platelets 20 to 24 degree plasma it is minus 40 to minus 80 and accordingly
07:01they have different shelf life and even WHO because platelets are the shortest shelf life
07:06WHO also accepts the platelet discard of around 3 to 5% because in due course you can make it
07:14in advance like if the dengue epidemic fell, if you don't have platelet, how will it be?
07:21But yes because that is a byproduct sometimes it goes wasted but that does not happen because
07:27our sequence basically is a plan according to our requisitions.
07:35We plan how much platelets and how much plasma components we have to prepare.
07:40So accordingly we prepare.
07:41Do you have any services from which cities or areas of which place can be used?
07:47Yeah, our services are covered in 7-8 states and the adjoining regionals.
07:53The rest of the PGI, I think because of the name of this institute people are coming as far
08:00as from Assam, Gohati, West Bengal and from Central India also.
08:04So we provide because those patients they don't have any attendants to donate or anything so
08:13it is only the blood which is collected through this volunteer blood donor program which we
08:17collect around 80% of our collection total out of the 70,000, 80% around more than 50,000
08:25are from voluntary donors so that is the biggest strength of this institute and department because
08:34this was founded way back in 1963 and the founder had Professor Jolly always laid stress on
08:40voluntary blood donation because voluntary blood donation is always safe.
