Whole blood resuscitation is well studied in trauma. But what about non-trauma hemorrhage? Researchers from @WakeForestMed examined 331 patients. The findings suggest whole blood can be safely used in severely hemorrhaging non-trauma patients. 👉 bit.ly/4cTarS5

Thank you, @ADM_Christine, for highlighting the urgent need for blood donations. 🩸 Giving blood is a simple act that makes a big difference for patients in need of a transfusion. Find a donor center near you: bit.ly/3Tx2FRI
ADM Brian Christine, MD@ADM_Christine

As a physician, I’ve seen how lifesaving donated blood can be. Right now, blood supplies are low, with some communities having only a one- to two-day supply. I donated recently, and if you’re eligible, I hope you’ll join me. One donation can save up to three lives. Watch and learn how you can help.

Did you know that @US_FDA updated blood donor screening in 2023 to remove gender-based questions? Blood donors are now evaluated using an individual assessment, focusing on behaviors within the past three months rather than gender or sexual orientation. bit.ly/4ba2Gq5

Severe winter weather is threatening to disrupt blood drives across the country. Blood has a short shelf life, and supplies are already critically low in some regions. If you’re eligible, consider scheduling a donation before the storm: wheretodonateblood.org

Travel far, give near! ✈️ In the United States, traveling to most countries doesn’t mean you have to wait to donate blood. If you’ve visited a malaria-endemic country, wait three months before giving. Have questions? We’ve got answers: bit.ly/3LlRz2S
