Show Melhod of Increasing Plasma Is Discovered I CHICAGO. Persons who donate ' blood, from which plasma is obtained, ob-tained, can do so much more frequently fre-quently if they get back their red :ells, physicians reported here. The discovery may make it possi; hie to increase the frequency of blood donations to the point where the entire plasma requirements of the armed forces can be obtained from a vastly smaller number of persons than at present. The new technique, described in the Journal of the American Medical Medi-cal association, has proven so successful suc-cessful in tests on six volunteer donors do-nors that the investigators recommended recom-mended the practice of re-infusipn of red cells into the donors where there is malnutrition in the donating population popu-lation or where a large proportion of the donors are women, who develop anemia easily. |
