Detailed explanation-1: -The Red Cross urges people with type AB blood to consider a plasma donation. AB is the only universal plasma and can be given to patients of any blood type. This means that type AB plasma transfusions can be given immediately, without losing precious time determining if the patient’s blood type is compatible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Preferred donation methods: double red blood cell, whole blood, and platelet. Types O, A, B and AB positive can receive O+ red cells, and O+ platelets can go to anyone (except childbearing aged females of types O-, A-, B-and AB). Type O+ can ONLY receive types O+ and O-, and only type O+ and O-can receive O+ plasma.
Detailed explanation-3: -Type O blood does not cause an immune response when it is given to people with type A, type B, or type AB blood. This is why type O blood cells can be given to people of any blood type. People with type O blood are called universal donors. But people with type O can only receive type O blood.
