Chowan Hospital begins blood
self-donation program recently
The scenario reads like this: Pa
tient enters hospital for surgery.
Patient receives blood transfusion
during surgery.
Months later, having recovered
from surgery, patient has AIDS
symptoms. The deadly virus was
contracted through blood transfu
sions.
Fact or fiction?
According to the American Red
Cross Blood Services-Tiderwater
region, the Blood Autologous Pro
gram (self -donation) has grown in
recent years because of the threat
of AIDS during transfusions.
That fear has spurred a nation
wide program that Chowan Hospi
tal has recently begun. The Ameri
can Red Cross Blood Service
Tiderwater region, in conjunction
with Chowan Hospital, is now offer
ing the Autologous Blood Donation
program.
The self-donation program is the
process by which you may donate
your blood for your own use at a
later date. Blood can be stored for
35-42 days.
"Patients request self -donation
blood because this is the safest al
ternative when a blood transfusion
is necessary," offered Chowan
Hospital Assistant Director Bar
bara Cale. "The AIDS problem is
the major reason for the devel
opment of this program," Cale
added.
Jennece Carter is a recent par
ticipant in the self-donation pro
gram. The Edenton resident, who
had surgery in June, said she had
never heard of the program until
her doctor made the suggestion.
"The main reason 1 used my
blood is because of the fear of
AIDS," said Carter, who had two
pints drawn at Chowan Hospital.
"I felt confident because I know
my blood is okay," added Carter,
who recommends the program.
The Red Cross Mobile Autolo
gous Unit will be at Chowan Hospi
tal every Tuesday from 9:30-11
a.m.
After the blood is drawn, it is
processed in Norfolk, then re
turned to Edenton for the patient's
surgery at Chowan Hospital, or to
an out-of-town hospital.

According to Chowan Hospital
Laboratory Manager Kirk John
son, 99 percent of the population
can take advantage of the pro
gram, but he added that the patient
having surgery must bring self-do
nation to the attention of the physi
cian.
"I really feel it's the safest way
to get a transfusion. We have the
facilities, and it virtually elimi
nates the risk of transmitted dis
ease," added Johnson.
There are Red Cross and hospital
processing fees in order to partici
pate in self-donation. One unit of
blood currently costs $165 to proc
ess and store.
The charges are the patient's fi
nancial responsibility. However, if
the patient actually receives the
blood, most insurance companies
will cover the charge.
For more information about the
self-donation program, contact
your physician or Chown Hospital.
