Blood shortage forces Maine Med to reschedule surgeries The hospital says it rescheduled fewer than a dozen operations over the past three weeks because of a national supply chain shortage of blood products caused by severe weather. Share A national supply chain shortage of blood products has forced Maine Medical Center in Portland to reschedule surgeries in recent weeks, as record-breaking cold and winter weather has caused blood drives to be canceled in several states. “Paralyzing winter weather across most of the U.S. this month has challenged not only the collection of lifesaving blood products, but also the distribution to support patients in need,” said Jessa Merrill, a spokesperson for the American Red Cross. “Icy roads and precipitation have challenged the ability of many blood providers, including the American Red Cross, to get lifesaving blood products to hospitals in impacted areas – especially Texas.”
