Whole blood shelf life
ACD/CPD 21 days
Whole blood volume and storage
- Volume 450-500 ml
- Store 2-6°C
Whole blood hematocrit
~38%
Uses for whole blood
- Volume expansion + oxygen carrying capacity
- Usually autologous units
- Research promoting it for emergency situations
Which components in whole blood don’t last long in storage?
Platelets, WBCS, and clotting factors
Risk of whole blood transfusion
Transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO)
What is considered “manufacturing” blood products?
- Changing purity/potency
- Irradiating
- Aliquot
List steps of whole blood component prep from donation
- Collect in sterile closed system
- Decide what product will be used for
- Centrifuge to pack RBCs and leukoreduce overnight
- Separate components
- Test donor blood for ABO type and virus
- Label with ISBT label
- Release to inventory for distribution
How to prep platelets and plasma from whole blood donation
- Platelets: cool to RT within 24 hrs
- Plasma: cool 1-10°C within 8 hrs
How does blood collection apheresis work?
- Decide product to be collected
- Collect in apheresis system with intermmittent or continuous flow centrifugation
- Return uncollected components
- Test donor blood for ABO type and virus
- Label products with ISBT label
- Release to inventory for distribution
Different donor requirements for apheresis
Require 40% hct and 16 wk deferral
Warm auto-Ab treatment
Plasmapheresis
Leukemia treatment
Photopheresis
