I have seen Directed Donor Blood performed 2 times in my 30 year RN career, both during my time as an Active Duty RN. Enough time needs to be allotted to allow for testing of donor/s, collection and processing, but it can be done and blood banks know very well how to perform this. Yes, in this situation if PRBCs and FFP will both be needed may be necessary to have more than 1 donor, depending on recipient blood type, but I would dare say it could be done if the family has the proper blood types, of un jabbed, healthy donors lined up. It does require more work, so even in the 2 cases I witnessed way before COVID, the patients had to fight for it. Sadly, that is pretty standard for Allopathic Medicine. After 30 years I am exhausted from constant advocating for my patients, often at great personal cost, BUT, I am not going to stop. Not in my nature to look the other way. Very few in my peer circle are awake to the real agenda, 3 of us, that is it.

Concise review of blood processing.
