At the request of the head of the transfusiology department of the regional children’s clinical hospital was The neonatal intensive care unit of city children’s hospital No. 2 badly needs a "CT- D4" dry plasma thawer (CytoTherm, USA). The original price of this equipment is – UAH 219 534.09, but we always ask everyone for a discount to save donors’ money. And our price today is UAH 197 580.68.

            The equipment is vital for the newborns who are admitted to the unit weighing from 500 grams. Haemorrhagic syndrome (bleeding) in newborns, especially in very premature babies, is deadly! Sometimes it develops rapidly, and there is extremely little time to take all the measures to stop it and stabilise the haemostatic system. The most essential method is transfusion of fresh frozen plasma, and despite the plasma reserves in the intensive care unit, the child has to wait quite a long time for the plasma to thaw and warm up for transfusion – that is about 1.5-2 hours...

            It is always frightening not to make it in time. But there is a solution. Modern plasma thawers – special devices for dry thawing and warming, can prepare a bag of plasma for transfusion in 15 minutes!!!

            Please, let us join together and buy this much-needed equipment! Do not be afraid of small amounts, we will be grateful for every hryvnia if there are many of us! And there really are many of us!

The request was submitted by Viktor Viktorovych Topolenko, head of the neonatal intensive care unit of city clinical hospital No. 2.
