In response, hospital\u2010based transfusion medicine physicians instituted policies to conserve blood and decrease blood product usage. These efforts were aided by the US Surgeon General recommendation to cancel all elective procedures. Nevertheless, the duration, severity, and impact of the pandemic on the national blood supply was uncertain. Hospitals with in\u2010house donor programs had the opportunity not only to control demand, but also increase supply.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A hospital\u2010based blood donor center was rapidly mobilized to increase the supply of in\u2010house collected blood, in order to counteract a sudden but potentially long\u2010term depletion of the national blood supply during a pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Collections increased approximately five\u2010fold above baseline for whole blood units, while apheresis platelet units were maintained at the historical average for the blood donor center. Cancellation of elective procedures showed a modest, but not yet statistically significant decrease in average blood product usage per day, nevertheless the in\u2010house collection rate was sufficient to meet demand.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>A hospital\u2010based blood donor center can quickly increase collection volumes and capacity in the face of a national emergency or pandemic. The desire to collect units should be balanced with safety concerns, need for sustainability, and blood product demand.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.15869","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,23]],"date-time":"2020-05-23T10:19:16Z","timestamp":1590229156000},"page":"1470-1475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Expansion of <scp>hospital\u2010based<\/scp> blood collections in the face of <scp>COVID<\/scp>\u201019 associated national blood shortage"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4092-9397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas J.","family":"Gniadek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Mallek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregory","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Saporito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nasri","family":"AbiMansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston, Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wilkister","family":"Tangazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Rogers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zachary","family":"Zahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabrielle","family":"Cummings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston, Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Kaul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"},{"name":"Department of Pathology University of Chicago  Chicago Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem  Evanston Illinois USA"},{"name":"Department of Pathology University of Chicago  Chicago Illinois USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"Illinois Department of Public Health.
