35 days
CPDA shelf life
35 days
CPDA with additive solution shelf life
42 days
open system packed cell expiration
24 hours
CPDA unit hematocrit requirement
<80%
additive solution unit hematocrit
~55-65%
indications for washed packed cells
history of allergic trx rxn
IgA deficiency with anti-IgA
washed RBC expiration
24 hours
indications for leukocyte reduced RBCs
febrile trx rxn due to HLA antibodies
immunosuppressed/immunodeficient
prevent production of HLA antibodies in chronic trx
irradiated RBC shelf life
28 days or original shelf life (whichever comes first)
why are irradiated red cells given a shortened expiration date?
irradiation weakens RBC membrane, gives unacceptable 24 hour red cell survival after 28 days and increases supernatant potassium
liquid red cell storage temp
1-6C
liquid red cell transport temp
1-10C
how long after collection are liquid red cells stored?
within 24 hours
effects of increased blood storage temperature
accelerates metabolism
enzymes become active
bacterial growth
effects of decreased blood storage temp
nutrients not utilized
danger of accidental freezing/crystal formation
cells rupture
red cell storage lesion changes
dec plasma pH dec 2,3-DPG dec ATP dec dextrose dec nitric oxide inc plasma Hgb inc plasma potassium inc plasma ammonia
storage conditions including preservative solutions must provide for survival of red cells so that there are at least ___% viable cells at 24 hours post-transfusion
75
storage temp of frozen red cells
-80C or lower, -65C max
what cryoprotective agent is used in frozen red cells?
glycerol
shelf life of frozen red cells
10 years
when after collection can red cells by frozen?
within 6 days or after rejuvenation
effect of rejuvenation on red cell units older than 6 days to be frozen
restore 2,3-DPG to near normal
restore ATP to normal or higher
shelf life of thawed frozen red cells
24 hours
why are red cells from sickle trait donors not frozen?
cannot be deglycerolized, unit forms into gel-mass and hemolyzes during declygerolization
indications for frozen/deglycerolized red cells
store blood of donors with rare types
store autologous RBCs
IgA deficient with anti-IgA
severe allergic reactions
if declygerolized units are unused, when an they be refrozen?
within 20 hours of original thaw
what standard applies to rejuvenation of red cells?
5.7.4.4
red cell rejuvenation solution contains?
pyruvate
inosine
adenine
phosphate
purpose of red cell rejuvenation
restore 2,3-DPG and ATP levels
when can CPD or CPDA-1 red cells be rejuvenated?
after 14 days of liquid storage or up to 3 days past expiration date
what can be done to the product after red cell rejuvenation?
washed and transfused within 24 hours
glycerolized and frozen
