Topics covered: Donor education, consent, and counseling. Donor iron balance and consequences. Syncope and vasovagal reaction prevention/treatment. Needle-related issues. Collection by automated measures. Frequent plasmapheresis. Special situations (teens, seniors, disabled, etc) NEW! HPC donors. Donor hemovigilance. Future directions for research.
