BOSTON \u2014 Some New England hospitals are delaying or rescheduling surgeries because of a shortage of blood donations during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen anything like this in about 30 or 40 years at least,\u201d Dr. Vishesh Chhibber, director of transfusion medicine at UMass Memorial Health, told the Boston Globe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Periodic, localized blood shortages are not uncommon, but this shortage is \u201cunprecedented in its scope,\u201d said Dr. Claudia Cohn, chief medical officer for the American Association of Blood Banks.<\/p>\n

Officials point toward a number of factors including the typical summer drop in blood donations at a time when surgeries are increasing because of procedures that were postponed during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Nationwide, the Red Cross normally has a five-day supply of all types of blood, said Kelly Isenor, spokesperson for the Red Cross of Massachusetts,<\/p>\n

Right now, the supply of the sorely needed type O blood would last only a half-day. \u201cIt\u2019s going out faster than it\u2019s coming in,\u201d Isenor said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
