  1. Community Blood Donation Intermediate Algebra Marjorie Whitmore, Instructor

  2. Members: • Jamie Beers • Kyle Land • DeShawna Provence • Amber Shaddock

  3. Objectives • Every two seconds in America, someone needs blood. • Each donation saves approximately three lives • Our purpose: -to further educate students on how donation and participation can save lives and make an impact in NW Arkansas

  4. Tasks Completed: • Researched national blood donation statistics for the last five years. • Used obtained information to calculate the number of donations over the past 5 years and project the number of donations in the next 5 years. • Worked with Community Blood Center of the Ozarks and participated in blood drive at NWACC.

  5. Blood Donation Facts: • Each blood donation saves approximately three lives, and usually takes less than one hour of your time. • Healthy donors are the only source of blood. There is currently no substitute. • Only 5% of the eligible population donates blood each year. • Nearly 5 million people need transfusions each year. • 1out of every 7 people entering a hospital need blood.

  6. Components of Blood • Red Blood Cells: Blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body and give blood its red color. They are transfused to people who fail to produce their own, have severe bleeding, or a low blood count. • Platelets: Cellular fragments. Their primary function is to prevent bleeding. They play a part in the body's clotting mechanism. Used to help transplant and cancer patients. • Plasma:Plasma The liquid portion of the blood. It contains coagulation factors and is used to treat patients who develop bleeding problems during major surgery or massive trauma. Because some of the factors lose effectiveness quickly, plasma must be frozen in order to preserve its functions. Used to help liver transplant patients and those who have open heart surgery.

  7. How Blood is Used:

  8. Math Component (donations from 1997-2002)*information from redcross.org

  9. Math Component:(expected donation statistics for the next 5 years)We used linear regression to find the formula:y=125310.54x+3554114.14

  10. The Solution: Give Blood • Am I Eligible? • Donors who are at least 16 years old and weigh 110 lbs are eligible to donate every 56 days.

  11. The Donation Process: • BEFORE the donation: • A donor registration process will be completed, as well as a confidential health history and screening. • A mini-physical is conducted, during which your blood pressure, pulse, temperature and iron levels are checked. • DURING the donation: • You are asked to lie back and relax on a donor bed. The arm from which you will donate is cleaned with an antiseptic and a sterile, single use needle is inserted to begin the actual blood donation. • The donation process is about 5-10 min, and you will give about one pint of blood. • AFTER the donation: • Following your donation, you will receive refreshments to help replace the fluids lost during the donation process.
