Blood Bank

Santhiram’s Blood Bank is renowned for the availability of various blood groups and their components. In fact, we are the primary source for the transfusion requirements during emergencies and surgeries in the region.

We collect, test and store the blood in our state-of-the-art facilities. The collected blood is evaluated to find out the presence of any health ailments, like HIV, Malaria, Syphilis, Hepatitis – B and Hepatitis – C. Also, the blood groups are cross checked for any compatibility issues. Due to this stern testing process, no issues arise thereafter. 

For the convenience of our patients, we also segregate the blood into various components, like Plasma, Platelet Concentrate, Packed Cells, etc, and store them by different methods. This storage process is useful for the patients, who do not require the whole blood transfusion. For example, a person suffering with anemia would only need the packed cells, and he/she benefits from this blood segregation.

The storage periods vary for the whole blood and its components. While the non-segregated blood is good up to 30 days, the dissected components can be stored anywhere from 5 days to 5 years, depending on the component type. Also, we administer the transfusion of right blood group; but in emergency conditions, we use the universal donor, O- blood, for the recipients if there is no other choice.
