Component Prepartion Flashcards
How long is WB good for in ACD or CPD anticoagulant?
21 days
How long is WB good for in CDPA-1?
35 days
How much plasma is removed from whole blood collected in CPDA-1 when making RBC components?
If CPDA-1 is used, 200 to 250 mL of plasma can be removed, leaving 150-230 ml of RBC product with a hematocrit of 65% to 80%
How much plasma is removed from whole blood when making RBC components with additive solutions?
If additive solutions (AS) are employed, an additional 50 mL of plasma can be removed, because 150 mL of adenine-saline is added back to the cells, achieving the desired hematocrit level of less than 80%. Typically, RBCs with AS added will have a hematocrit of 55% to 65%.
How long is WB centrifuged when making RBC components?
Centrifuge whole blood using a heavy spin (5,000 × g for 5 minutes in a refrigerated centrifuge). Temperature setting should be 4°C. If also preparing platelet conc., the initial spin will be light (2 to 3 minute at 3,200 rpm) at 20-24C
How is the QC on HCT of RBC units done?
Quality control on the hematocrit level of the RBCs is performed monthly;
75% of samples tested must yield a hematocrit level of 80% or less.
What is the min and max dose for irradiation?
Both the FDA and AABB recommend a minimum dose of gamma irradiation of 25 Gy to the central portion of the blood unit, with no less than 15 Gy delivered to any part of the blood unit
What is the outdate of the product after irradiation?
28 days or the expiration of the unit whichever is sooner
What is the AABB standard for leukoreduced RBC’s?
The absolute WBC count in the unit is reduced to less than 5 × 10^6 and contains at least 85% of the original RBC mass in 95% of units tested.
What are prestorage leukocyte filters made of?
multiple layers of polyester or cellulose acetate nonwoven fibers that trap leukocytes and platelets but that allow RBCs to flow through
What is the big advantage of pre-storage leukocyte filters?
Reduces biological response modifers such as proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor) and complement fragments (C5a and C3a).
When must RBC’s be frozen?
RBCs are frozen within 6 days of collection when the preservative is CPD or CPDA-1 and up to 42 days when preserved in AS-1, AS-3, and AS-5 and rare unit
CPD, CDA-1 RBCs: rejuvenate up to 3 days after expiration. Wash & transfused within 24 hours or freeze up to10 years
Once Glycerol is added how long until the unit must be placed in the freezer?
4 hours
What is the advantage of using high glycerol?
40% glycerol allows for slow uncontrolled freezing and less sensitive and no fancy equipment required. Units can be stored in -80C mechanical freezer
What are the disadvantages of using low glycerol?
20% glycerol is less protective and a very rapid, more controlled freezing procedure is required. Liquid nitrogen (N ) is routinely used for this method. The frozen units must be stored at about -120°
How long after expiration can units be frozen?
RBCs can be rejuvenated up to 3 days after expiration and then glycerolized and frozen.
What is the minimum number of platelets in apheresis donor?
3 x 10^11 in 90% of units tested
with < 5x10^6 WBC in 95% units tested
What is the acceptable pH of plt’s?
greater than or equal to 6.2 in 90% of units tested
What is the min number of platelets in random donor concentrates?
5.5 x10^10 in 90% units tested or 75% if leukoreduced
How are plt concentrates prepared from whole blood?
Light spin separates PRP from RBC’s. PRP is expressed and hard spin concentrates PLT’s at the bottom. Plasma is removed and platelets rest for 1-2 hours until clumps resuspend.
How much fibrinogen is one unit of plasma?
approx. 400 mg of fibrinogen
How much clotting factors are in one unit of FFP?
1 IU per 1 mL of plasma
After thaw how long is FFP good for?
24 hours unless labeled as thawed plasma then 5 days
What factors are missing from cryo poor plasma?
VIII, Fibrinogen, XIII, fibronectin, Cryoglobulin, vWF
