Finals: BLOOD PRESERVATION, COMPONENT PREPARATION AND STORAGE, ISSUANCE OF BLOOD, AND TRANSFUSION THERAPY Flashcards
Indications of Washed RBcs
Increase mass RBCs of symptomatic anemic px with transfusion history of
Allergic reaction, Urticarial reaction
Anaphylactic reaction
Febrile non hemolytic reaction
This is not a substitute for leukocyte reduced rbcs
Washed RBcs
May also be used in infant or intrauterine transfusion
Washed Rbcs
How many percent of rbcs lost in the process after washing with saline?
10-20%
Storage and shelf life of Washed RBcs
Storage: 1-6 *C
Shelflife: 24 hrs open system
Indications of Platelet Concentrate
Active bleeding px who are thrombocytopenic (<20,000 /uL)
Cancer px dueto chemotheraphy and radiation
Thrombocytopenic pre operative px (<50,000/uL)
Dengue hemorrhagic fever
Preparation of RDP
Prepared from whole blood (1 unit)
• Prepared within 6 hours after collection
• Whole blood at room temp→ 1st step: light spin (3200 rpm),
2-3min→ produce platelet rich plasma separated from red
cells→ 2nd step: heavy spin (3600 rpm), 5 min→ platelets
separate from plasma→ remove plasma into another bag,
leaving 50 – 70 mL for the platelets.
How many platelets must contain in RDP?
> 5.5x10^10
How many plasma must contain in RDP and pH
40-70 mL plasma, pH >6.2
RDP may be pooled for how many units?
4-6/8 units
RDP new method is also called
Buffy Coat Method
In RDP, 1 unit should increase platelet by
5,000-10,000/ uL
Interpretation of the Increment for Platelet should be done:
After 1 hour of post transfusion
Good increment is =
> 10,000/uL
Refractoriness=
<5,000/uL
Reason why refractoriness <5,000/uL
Unresponsive of platelet transfusion due to HLA/HPA, DIC, Sepsis and fever
Preparation of SDP
Apheresis
SDP must contain how many platelets
3x10^11 equivalent to 4-6 units
SDP must contain how many mL of plasma?
200-400mL
Indications of SDP
Indicated for patients with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
In SDP, 1 unit should increase platelets by
30,000-60,000/uL in 75 kg px
Storage and Shelflife of SDP
Storage: 20-24 *C
Shelf Life: 5days with constant agitation
Leukocyte Reduce RBcs indications
Can be use for ITP
In Leukocyte Reduced RBCs, how many leukocytes must contain in a whole blood
<8.3x10^5
In Leukocyte Reduced RBCs, how many leukocytes must contain in a pheresis
<5x10^6
Storage and Shelflife of LRP
Storage: 20-24 *C
Shelf life:
Open System: 4hrs
Apheresis: 5 days with constant agitation
Preparation of Pre Storage pooled Platelets
4-6 ABO identical platelet pooled using closed system
