DOESANGUEPET: desenvolvimento de sistema web facilitador para doação de sangue de animais

Abstract

In our society, it is normal to relate blood donation to human beings, but contrary to popular belief, blood donation between animals is a frequent need. Animals are faced with several situations that need urgent transfusion, and the lack of guardians aware of the problem worsens the health of those who need it, animals that go through trampling, diseases and surgical procedures with acute blood loss, are the ones that most need the realization blood transfusion, otherwise they can die. The lack of information about the necessary care for the health of animals can lead to aggravation of clinical situations that can be avoided, with only a healthy, compatible donor being enough for the recovery of another in a serious condition. In fact, you never know when an animal will need it or even if it is a potential donor that could save dozens of other lives. Blood banks do not always have the material available for the moment the animal needs it, as donation between animals has not yet become a common practice. Let's use the example of dogs: they have 8 blood types, which generates an even greater incompatibility, and with that, a greater difficulty in finding a compatible donor. In Brazil, blood typing is not a common practice in veterinary clinics and hospitals, and what has been done to reduce the risks of transfusion reaction is to carry out the compatibility test, but this is not something that should worry the tutors of the donors, because, the transfusion does not bring risks to the health of the donor, it will only be an act of kindness and solidarity.
