Q

How much plasma is removed from whole blood collected in CPDA-1 when making RBC components?

A

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%

Q

How much plasma is removed from whole blood when making RBC components with additive solutions?

A

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%.

Q

How long is WB centrifuged when making RBC components?

A

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

Q

What are the disadvantages of using low glycerol?

A

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°

Q

How are plt concentrates prepared from whole blood?

A

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.

36
Q

How often does a plt count need to be performed before plt apheresis procedure?

A

Although plt count is not needed prior to the 1st plateletpheresis procedure, a plt count does need to be performed on a sample collected immediately before the procedure or from a sample collected either before or after the previous procedure.
