While fibrinogen is generally recognized as a critical blood clotting factor that can decline quickly in the massive hemorrhage patient, logistical challenges often prevent its rapid administration. Earlier this month, the American Journal of Clinical Pathology published the experience of Dr. Sethapati et al. with the implementation of pathogen reduced cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex (commonly referred to as INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex) at Stanford Health Care’s Blood Bank. The publication, which details the positive impact of this blood product on waste and turnaround time at a single site, can be found here: https://ow.ly/HBIp50SAsrU #massivehemorrhage #transfusion #fibrinogen

Every day, the Cerus team is focused on safeguarding the global supply, so #WorldBloodDonorDay holds a special significance for us. Last week, we hosted an on-site blood drive at our U.S. headquarters, and true to form, turnout was amazing. Thank you to all our employees – including blood donors (Monique Ono, MPH, Rhonda Walker, Scott Seidenverg, Sebastian Nosker, Zach Ehrenberg, Tracey Diaz, Chrystal Menard, Michelle Gatmaitan, Michelle Payton, Jovita Villavicencio, Marc Stern, Brittany Dillon, Julie Yi, and Peter Bringmann) – for your continued passion for ensuring blood is safe and available – whether through your daily work or your life-saving blood donation. #WBDD #WorldBloodDonorDay #transfusion #bloodsafety #blooddonation

Cerus is proud to join more than 80 partner organizations in support of Blood Advocacy Week, an important initiative by America’s Blood Centers to address critical issues facing our nation’s blood supply. JOIN THE MISSION: ·      Federal funding to support blood centers’ local education and awareness efforts. ·      Examine pre-hospital blood use for traumatic injuries. ·      Pilot initiatives to attract diverse and younger blood donors. ·      Reimburse palliative blood transfusions. WHY WE MUST ACT: Blood donations, especially those from school and business-based drives, have not recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting decline in donors, particularly minority donors, is exacerbated by an aging population. In the U.S. every two seconds someone needs a blood transfusion, yet only a fraction of those who are eligible actually donate. Let’s come together to ensure a robust and equitable blood supply for all. #BloodAdvocacyWeek #Cerus #DonateBlood #SaveLives”
