Tips for a Successful Donation

• Drink an extra four (8-ounce) glasses of liquids
• Remove the wrap bandage (if you had one put on your arm) within the next hour.
• Keep the strip bandage on for the next several hours.
• To avoid a skin rash, clean the area around the strip bandage with soap and water.
• Do not do any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for the rest of the day.
• If the needle site starts to bleed, apply pressure to it and raise your arm straight up for about 5-10 minutes or until bleeding stops.
• If you experience dizziness or lightheadedness after donation, stop what you are doing and sit down or lie down until you feel better. Avoid performing any activity where fainting may lead to injury for at least 24 hours.
