Blood needs rise to one pint per two casualties
Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley, chief surgeon in the European theater, announced that one pint of whole blood is required for every two battle casualties. He said earlier wartime estimates of one pint per five wounded were too low, and current daily minimums are not yet met. Type O blood is needed as it can be used with all groups. Blood from five collection centers reaches the European front within 24 hours, while shipments from the west coast reach the Pacific in three days.
