Q

Indications of Washed RBCs: (3)

A
  1. Anemia with history of febrile reactions
  2. Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
  3. For patients with plasma proteins antibodies to reduced allergic reactions (for IgA-deficient patients). For patients at risk of developing anti-IgA antibody
22
Q

Quality control requirement for washed RBCs

A

Plasma must be removed

23
Q

prepared for those with rare units such as AB (-) individuals, Bombay phenotype, Rh phenotype and patients that undergoes autologous donation

A

Frozen RBCs

24
Q

Cryoprotective agent used in Frozen RBCs

A

Glycerol

25
Q

What is the use of glycerol in Frozen RBCs

A

Keeps the RBC components from being destroyed when stored in low temperatures

26
Q

Give the three concentrations of Glycerol and its temperature requirement: (3)

A
  1. High Concentration: 40% glycerol. Freezer requirement: Mechanical
    freezer (- 65°C) (Preferred)
  2. Low Concentration: 20% glycerol. Requirement: Liquid Nitrogen (- 100°C)
  3. 79 % Glycerol + Dextrose, Fructose and EDTA: -65°C
27
Q

Why is high concentration of glycerol is preferred than the low concentration?

A

Low concentration glycerol uses liquid nitrogen that is prone to formation of ice crystals. These ice crystals lead to cell lysis.

28
Q

Shelf life of Frozen RBCs

A

Frozen – 10 years provided that cryoprotective agent is added

Deglycerolized – 24 hours (thawed)

29
Q

What is the temperature requirement in thawing frozen RBCs?

A

1-6°C

30
Q

Important requirement in deglycerolization process:

A

Use decreasing concentration of saline or NaCl (Hypertonic to Isotonic Sol’n)

31
Q

Explain deglycerolization washing process

A

1st washing process – wash thawed RBC to 12% NaCl (Hypertonic sol’n) –

2nd washing process – wash RC at 1.6% NaCl

3rd wash – 0.9 or 0.85% NaCl (isotonic sol’n)

32
Q

given to patient with impaired normal platelet function and impaired number of circulating platelet

A

Platelet components

33
Q

Purpose of giving platelet component

A

Control/prevent bleeding associated with critically decreased or functionally abnormal platelet

34
Q

Platelet Concentrates are done via: (2)

A
  1. Random Donor Platelets
  2. Single Donor Platelets
35
Q

Indications of Random Donor Platelets: (4)

A
  1. Thrombocytopenia
  2. DIC
  3. Platelet disorders
  4. Bleeding
36
Q

Shelf life of RDP:

A

5 days with the need of constant agitation

37
Q

What is the purpose of constant agitation of platelets?

A

Agitation facilitate oxygen transfer and oxygen consumption by the platelets. Also to prevent clumping of platelets. Oxygen consumption of platelets is associated with maintaining the pH of platelets (key parameter in maintaining platelet viability in vitro)

38
Q

Storage temp:

Random Donor Platelet:
Single Donor Platelet

A

Both are stored in 20-24°C

39
Q

Contraindications of RDP:

A
  1. Triggers Immune Thrombocytopenia
  2. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
40
Q

A

5.5 x 1010 and 50-65mL of plasma sample

41
Q

Immediate effect of RDP:

A

Increase platelet count by 5,000 – 10,000 per unit

42
Q

How is Single Donor Platelet prepared?

A

Prepared from apheresis procedure

43
Q

Indications of SDP: (2)

  2. For patients refractory to RDP due to platelet antibodies
44
Q

Considerations of SDP: (2)
