By donating double red cells, you're helping patients who need larger volumes of red blood cells, such as those undergoing heart surgery, trauma recovery, or cancer treatments. In fact, trauma patients may require up to 4-6 units of red blood cells to stabilize, while surgical patients often need 2-4 units. Your one double red donation provides two units of red blood cells, which could help multiple patients at once. And the best part? You only need to donate half as often, making your contribution both impactful and convenient!
