When blood is donated, it can be used almost immediately as whole blood or it can be
separated into its components. Whole blood is given to patients where major functions of the
blood, such as oxygen carrying capacity, are impaired, or where more than 20% of blood has
been lost and there is a decrease in blood pressure.
