SARS-CoV-2（也称为COVID-19）在医疗领域的许多领域都是前所未有的挑战，血库也不例外。COVID-19对我们全国的血液采集产生了明显的负面影响，迫使血库、血液中心和美国政府采取新政策，以适应血液供应减少，并保护我们的献血者免受COVID-19的影响。这些政策在患者血液管理和血库操作中可见一斑。我们还面临着制定一种非传统疗法的政策和程序，恢复期血浆；其有效性和安全性至今仍未完全阐明。
SARS-CoV-2 (also known as COVID-19) has been an unprecedented challenge in many parts of the medical field with blood banking being no exception. COVID-19 has had a distinctly negative effect on our blood collection nationwide forcing blood banks, blood centers, and the US government to adopt new policies to adapt to a decreased blood supply as well as to protect our donors from COVID-19. These policies can be seen distinctly in patient blood management and blood bank operations. We are also faced with developing policies and procedures for a nontraditional therapy, convalescent plasma; its efficacy and safety is still not completely elucidated as of yet.
