Nomads donate blood, save lives

U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Travis Bulay, 33rd Maintenance Squadron aircrew ground equipment flight chief, donates blood on the Big Red Bus Sept. 17, 2021 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. When donating double red blood cells the donation service only collects red blood cells and not platelets or plasma. This type of donation is done using a process called automation, also known as apheresis. Automated technology allows donors to give twice the amount of their red cells than compared to a whole blood donation. Automation enables collection of only the most needed components of the donor’s blood. Red blood cells are the most transfused blood product. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Heather LeVeille)
