Read this out loud:

Each unit of whole blood normally is separated into several components. Red blood cells may be stored under refrigeration for a maximum of 42 days, or they may be frozen for up to 10 years. Red cells carry oxygen and are used to treat anaemia. Platelets are important in the control of bleeding and are generally used in patients with leukemia and other forms of cancer. Platelets are stored at room temperature and may be kept for a maximum of seven days. Fresh frozen plasma, used to control bleeding due to low levels of some clotting factors, is kept in a frozen state for usually up to one year. Cryoprecipitated AHF, which contains only a few specific clotting factors, is made from fresh frozen plasma and may be stored frozen for up to one year. Granulocytes are sometimes used to fight infections, although their efficacy is not well established. They must be transfused within 24 hours of donation.

Then read this out loud:

The blood they take from a person is separated into a few different parts. These are red blood cells, platelets and fresh frozen plasma. The red blood cells can be kept in a fridge so they stay cool for up to 42 days, or they can be frozen for 10 years. These cells carry oxygen around your body and are very important for people who have anaemia, which is a disease where they don’t have enough iron in their blood….
