Met die winter wat amptelik hierdie maand tot \u2019n einde kom, het die Wes-Kaapse Bloeddiens \u2019n hernude oproep vir huidige en potensi\u00eble bloedskenkers gedoen om \u201c \u2019n magtige held te wees\u201d en bloed te skenk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die diens sal vandeesmaand sy winterveldtog afsluit en die merkwaardige toewyding van bloedskenkers vier, wat \u2019n deurslaggewende rol gespeel het in die redding van lewens gedurende die kouer maande. Dit sal beklemtoon dat elke individu, ongeag hul skenkingmylpaal, \u2019n magtige held is wat help om die provinsie se bloedvoorraad die hele jaar deur te handhaaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tema vir Augustus is \u201cWees \u2019n magtige held. Skenk Bloed,\u201d wat alle individue vra om die uitdaging aan te neem om moontlik drie lewens te red deur een bloedskenking. Dit sal ook die laaste kans wees vir skenkers om hul hande op \u2019n paar eksklusiewe heldesokkies te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSonder die ondersteuning van ons skenkers sou dit nie moontlik wees om lewens te red nie. Ons is diep dankbaar aan elke skenker wat die winterkoue aangedurf het om bloed te skenk; hulle is die ware helde van die Wes-Kaap,\u201d het Marike Carli, woordvoerder van by die Wes-Kaapse Bloeddiens, ges\u00ea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer hulle skenk, begin skenkers met \u2019n vertroulike vraelys en verifieer hul besonderhede. \u2019n Vingerpriktoets toets jou hemoglobienvlak, wat verseker dat dit die vereiste 12,5 g\/dl vir vroue en 13,5 g\/dl vir mans bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Professionele verpleegster voer dan \u2019n mediese ondersoek uit, wat die skenkers se bloeddruk en pols nagaan. Sodra die groen lig gegee word, sal skenkers voortgaan om \u2019n eenheid bloed te skenk, gevolg deur heerlike sap en beskuitjies om verlore vloeistowwe aan te vul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skenkers moet tussen 16 en 75 jaar oud wees, minstens 50 kg weeg, in goeie algemene gesondheid wees, en \u2019n veilige seksuele leefstyl handhaaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die dag van skenking word skenkers aangeraai om \u2019n maaltyd drie of vier uur voor die skenking te eet en goed gehidreer te bly voor, tydens en n\u00e1 die skenking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns moedig die publiek aan om magtige helde te wees en hierdie winter bloed te skenk. Dit neem net 30 minute van jou tyd en jy help pasi\u00ebnte in nood,\u201d het Carli bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
