Note: It could hurt more if you are some very young nurse’s “first victim”. However, since we agreed upon this simple fact, let us discuss some ways to distract our new donors from the pain. Now if we look at the whole thing, the needle that stings is the only “OUCH” we might hear during the donation and many donors have stated that the more the donor donate, the more he/she gets friendly with the needle. The donation process takes about an hour.
This sometimes causes nausea, tickling sensation in the body, dizziness, etc. Once the collection is been made and extraction is finished, the remaining contents of the blood are returned by the same machine back to the donor’s body through the same intravenous line. The machine separates the plasma and in some cases, particularly Hemophilia or Lymphoblast Leukemia, the platelets as well from the blood and collects the extract in a sterilized bag. The needle is attached to an intravenous sterilized line which leads to a machine that draws blood from the donor’s body. In plasma donation, the donor’s blood vessel is pricked with a rather bigger needle than the one used in blood donation, which does hurt a bit but some people do not consider that a painful thing, so on with it. In blood donation, blood is drawn from the donor’s body and kept whereas plasma donation is a rather complex procedure but the big question, “does it really hurt?” Plasma donation is different from the usual blood donation process. It is a usual practice to donate blood, however, it is seen less often that people donate plasma due to a simple misunderstanding that donating plasma might hurt or cause some damage to our health.
