i“Anemia" Hits Nation's
Blood Bank Resources
| By ALMA GAINES RAMSEY
YWiitten for NEA Service |
WASHINGTON —(NEA)—— The
nation’s supply of human blood is
now being surveyed as one of‘
America’s natural resources—a re=-
source that is becoming dangerous
ly low.
Wartime experience in the use
of whole blood and certain of its
components has enormously in
creased its demand for civilian
medical practice. |
As a consequence, the major
problem facing the nation’s phy
‘sicians and health authorities to
| day is the maintenance of a stable
|supply of blood and its fractions.l
In addition, available resources
must be evaluated in cose of ma
jor disasters or national emergen
¢y,
" Unlike many other therapeutic
agents, blood cannot by synthet
‘jcally produced. It must come
from the veins of healthy human
beings. And mostly it must come
as a free will offering; otherwise,
it is tooc expensive for most pa-|
tients.
e »
A high percentage of persons
undergoing major surgery require
whole blood transfusions. Many
of them also receive blood plasma,
the liquid in which blood cells are
suspended. A patient undergoing
an operation on the heart, or for
the removal of a cancerous growth,
may require as many as 15 or 20
pints of blood. :
Other illnesses demanding what
physicians term “massive trans
fusions” include childbirth hem
grims, fortified Washington. It builc and de
veloped our civilization and this glorious land
which we call our country.
In the spirit of this Christmas time, is it not
fitting that we renew again with ourselves
and with our neighbors, a covenant of FAITH
—a firm belief that this great nation of ours is ¢
founded on rock-ribbed resources, endowed
with natural wealth, peopled by men and
women of stout hearts and strong minds—
and in concentrated action based on this
FAITH we shall overcome all obstacles and
rise to new heights of happiness and pros
perity.
With this FAITH as the guiding star, loom
ing through darkaess before us, we can con
fidently wish for one-another that which our
bank is happy to extend as its wish for you:
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA.
]orrhage, hemorrhage from acci
| dental iniuries, amputations, and
| extensive burns. Outside the sur
| gical field, whole blood in great
| quantities is needed for a variety
| of chronic ailments. These include
| several forms of anemia and the
| baffling killer, leukemia.
| Present requirements for whole
| blood are being met in several
| ways: from hospital blood banks;
| through the American Red Cross
national blood program; from lo
‘| cal facilities provided by other
| medical, public health and volun
|tary groups; and from commer
| eial suppliers.

| The combined efforts of all thece
| agencies still leave many physi
| cians unable to meet the blood re
j quirements of their patients and
| leave no surpius for processing a
variety of valuable blood deriva
| tives.
.| One of the most used and most
| effective blood derivatives is im
mune serum globulin, given to
| prevent or meodify measles and
avoid complications such as pneu
monia, heart impairment, damage
to the eyes, or inner ear infection
which sometimes results in deaf
ness. Immune serum globulin is
also being used as a modifying
agenit in scarlet fever. Scarlet
fever, like measles, carries its own
danger from complications, nota
bly heart damage, kidney impair
ment and deafness.
The immune globulin which is
used for measles has been, for the
most part, processed from surpius
wartime plasma. But the serum
scarlet fever—and for mumps
S
of le who have ha
diesase wpi:lgfi: a few months pre
vious to the time of donating
blood.
Up to October of this year, the
American Red Cross distributed,
through state health departments,
1,935,602 units of immune serum
globulin for the treatment of
| Ineasies aione.
* 3 »
Another highly valuable blood
derivative, or fraction, is serum
albumin. = Four or five pints of
biood are required to prepare one
dose of this highly ‘concentrated
material. ;
Although having only one-fifth
the volume of blood plasma, serum
albumin is equally effective in
combating shock and even more
valuable in the management of
certain liver and kidney diseases
such as cirrhosis or hardening of
the liver and nephrosis, a chronic
degenerative condition of the kid
ney. Young people are the main
sufferers from nephrosis. Serum
albumin is also used to control
dangerous increases in pressure
within the skull after brain op
erations or injuries.
Division of blood into its frac
tion offers new lifesaving and
health restoring agents. it aiso
makes possible a greater economy
in the use of blood. A dozen or
more people may benefit from the
pint of blood which was once use
ful only to one person as a trans
fusion.
|. 8 A
The perplexing problem facing
the medical profession today is
where to procure these valuable
fractions. . |
The Red Cross is still supplying
derivatives processed from surplus
plasma, derived from blood do
nations during the war, but this
supply is now dangerously 10w..1t
cannot be expected to last for more !
than another year. A major dis-‘
aster or a serious epidemic might
deplete the remaining supply even |
earlier, |
The dwindling supply of blood
from which to process these deriv
atives means that often a patient’s
life hangs literally by a fraction.
A 18-year-old New York hoy,
for example, desperately needed a“
derivative known as Cohen’s frac
tion No. 1 to win his 27th battle
against hemophilia this fall.
It takes 500 ce. of whole, fresh
blood to preduce five CC. of the
fraction, which has proven to be
one of the most effective means
of combating attacks of the dread
disease in which blood does not
ciot. And it took the National
Hemophilia Foundation more than
eight hours of frantic iong-distance
searching to locate the only four
vials of the fraction then avail
able, fly them from Boston, and
rush them by police escort to the
boy in the hospital.
# & *
The vials of Cohen’s Fraction
No. 1 came from the Red Cross
blood bank in Boston, one of 30
regional banks in the Red Cross
National Blood program which at
present is the largest single source
of whole blood and derivatives.
This chain of procurement and
processing, it is hoped, will event~
ually link the nation. In addition,
an estimated 1500 hospitals oper
ate their own blood banks, but
‘how effective they are is not
known.
~ To get the complete picture of
\ the nation’s blood resources, a sur
vey is being conducted by the
American Medical Association in
cooperation with blood bank rep
resentatives, medical associations.
hospital groups, clinics, the Red
Cross and the National Research
Council.
Results of the survey will de
cide needs for expansion to sunply
civilian medical needs, as well as
show what machinery is necessary
for insuring adequate blood and
blood derivatives for military use.
