Questions about cord blood preservation

  Perhaps pregnant women and their families have been exposed to some knowledge of cord blood in our hospital: the content is about the preservation of cord blood for newborns. Cord blood banks are divided into public and autologous banks. The public bank is a voluntary donation of cord blood by the mother, which facilitates all patients with blood disorders to go to the cord blood bank for inquiries and matching; the autologous bank, on the other hand, is the cord blood of pregnant women to the blood bank for preservation, which is only provided to individuals for self-storage and self-use, to ensure that they can find the original blood perfectly suitable for their matching in case of disease.  According to my visit to Asia’s largest cord blood bank and my online knowledge, in general, cord blood has some therapeutic effects on some blood disorders and immune diseases. Of course, autologous cord blood is by no means a panacea for all diseases. You should ask the person concerned in detail before deciding, taking into account your family’s disease history and financial conditions.  Please point out any errors in the above information.  If a mother requests to have her cord blood collected during delivery, she will receive a bag for the collection of cord blood after signing with the staff of the cord blood company. This bag must be brought into the delivery room or operating room at the time of delivery so that the medical staff can collect the cord blood in a timely manner.
