Before your Donation

Drink an extra 16 oz. of water and fluids before the donation.

Avoid fatty foods, such as hamburgers, fries or ice cream before donating.

If you are a platelet donor, remember that your system must be free of aspirin for two days prior to donation.

献血前は約500 mLの水分を取り脂質の多い食事は避ける。また血小板献血の場合2日前からアスピリンの服用を避ける。

After Your Donation

Drink plenty of fluids over the next 24-48 hours to replenish any fluids you lost during donation.

If you feel light headed, lie down, preferably with feet elevated, until the feeling passes.

If bleeding or bruising occurs under the skin, apply a cold pack to the area periodically during the first 24 hours.

終了後も十分な水分を取る。頭がくらくらする時は足を高くして休む。内出血があるときは冷湿布を当てる。

Reasons people do not give blood

I don't like needles--Most donors will tell you that you feel only a slight initial pinch.

I am too busy--The entire process takes about an hour, and the actual blood donation time is only 7-10 minutes.

I am afraid I'll get AIDS--A new sterile needle is used for each donor and discarded afterwards.

所要時間は1時間で採血自体は7-10分ほど。滅菌済みの注射針は一回限りの使用である。
