FREQUENT DONATIONS
OF BLOOD POSSIBLE
CHICAGO —lAP'— Donors
may be able to give blood more
otfen by a new technic of rein
fusing them with the red blood
• cells that remain after plasma
has been separated, according *o
the ournal of the American Med
ical Association. It reports that
six volunteers in New York,
Brooklyn and Washington were
| subjected to frequen* blood dona
. tions. each one followed by a re
infusion of the red blood cells.
While further studies will be
necessary, the supervising doctors
were able to recommend “that the
prac'ice of reinfusion of red cells
into the donors be adopted where
there is malnutrition in the do
nating population and-or where
a large proportion of donors are
women.”
I Since only the plasma of the
blood is needed for h'e armed
forces,, the Journal said it might
be possible to meet all their plas
ma requirements with a greatly"
smaller number of donors than is
now possible under the system of
cigh' week intervals between do
nations.
