blood components

  1. Blood bank vs Blood center
    • blood bank: in a hospital. performs compatibility testing and prepares components for transfusion
    • blood center: "donation center". screens, draws donors. performs testing on donor blood and delivers to blood bank
  2. where is the source for blood
    only human beings
  3. is there such as a thing as zero risk blood
    no such thing
  4. what are the plasma derivatives
    • albumin 5% and 22&
    • plasma protein fraction
    • factor VIII concentrate
    • immunoglobulins
    • fibrinogen
    • coagulation factors
  5. what are the plasma components
    • fresh frozen plasma
    • single donor plasma
    • cryoprecipitate
    • cryo-poor plasma
  6. what are the cellular components
    • red cell concentrate
    • leukocyte reduced red cells
    • platelet concentrates
    • leukocyte reduced platelets
    • platelet apheresis
    • granulocyte apheresis
  7. what are the advantages of using blood components as opposed to whole blood
    • incrs in shelf life
    • decrs hazards of whole blood tansfusion
    • optimal utilization of every blood donation
  8. preservatives of whole blood
    • stored in 1- 6 C
    • CPD: "citrate phosphate dextrose". 21 days
    • CPD A-1: 35 days
    • CPS AS-1: 42 days
    • ACD: "acid citrate dextrose"
  9. How packed RBCs are collected
    • removal of 80% plasma by centrifugation
    • stored the same as whole blood
    • expected net gain: 1- 1.5 g/dl per unit, 3-5% hct
  10. expected net gain of whole blood
    • 1-1.5 g/dl per unit
    • 3-5% hct
  11. advantages of PRBCs (packed RBCs)
    • reduced risk of circulatory overload, important for cardiac patients
    • decreased Anti ABOs in O units, makes then more truly universal donor ready
    • more neutral pH and citrate levels
  12. processing of leukocyte reduced RBCs
    • 99.9% removal of WBCs
    • not more than 5x10^6 WBC
    • retention of 85% RBC mass
    • stored the same as whole blood
  13. advantages of leukocyte reduced RBCs
    • get rid of HLA antibodies
    • decrs febrile transfusion reactions
    • decrs CMV transmission (CMV carried in WBCs)
    • decrs Graft vs Host disease reaction
  14. processing and storage of washed RBCs
    • unit is spiked and cells are washed with saline to remove IgA antibody
    • somewhat leuko reduced but not as effective as filtering
    • all plasma removed
    • stored 1- 6 C
    • use within 24 hrs of opening unit
    • expected net gain: same as whole blood
  15. advantages of washed RBCs
    • removal of all plasma proteins
    • useful with patients who have experienced allergic reaction, or IgA deficient people
    • may decrease viral transmission
  16. disadvantages of washed RBCs
    • more expensive
    • open unit, therefore 24 hr expiration may lead to contamination
  17. processing and storage of frozen RBCs
    • must be processed within 6 hrs of draw by adding 40% glycerol (membrane stabilizer/antifreeze) followed by a slow freeze
    • shelf life of 10 years
    • when thawed, glycerol must be removed (toxic)
  18. advantages of frozen RBCs
    • advantages: most WBCs, plts, and all proteins are removed during deglycerolized process  
    • may be used interchangeably with washed RBCs.
    • rare donor and autologous units may be collected adn stored for long periods of time
  19. disadvantages of frozen RBCs
    • more expensive
    • open unit, 24 hr expiration once deglycerolized
    • contamination
    • expected gain: 1-1.5 g/dl
  20. process when frozen RBC are thawed
    • RBC mass recovery must be 80% of original
    • not more than 1% residual glycerol
    • at least 70% RBC viability 24 hrs post transfusion
  21. preparation, storage and expiration of granulocyte concentrates
    • prepared by cytopheresis
    • donor prepared by administrating cortisol and hydroyethystarch (facilitates WBC separation)
    • stored at RT, 20-24 C
    • expiration time is 24 hrs
    • ABO/Rh compatible
  22. what are granulocyte concentrates used for
    • <500 WBC /mm3
    • active infection (fever)
    • not responding to antibiotics
    • myeloid hypoplasia with reasonable chance for survivial
    • neutropenia
    • chemotherapy
  23. preparation of platelet packs from random donor
    • prepared with 6 hrs of draw
    • whole blood light spin.
    • put prp (platelet rich plasma) into satellite bag, hard spin,
    • express all but 50-65 ml plasma into satellite bag,
    • let plts rest for 2 hrs
    • must have at least 5.5  10^10 plts in the 50 to 65 ml plasma
  24. storage, expected net gain of platelet packs
    • storage: RT with constant agitation for 5 days
    • expected net gain: 5000 to 10,000 mL for singe pack. usually 4 to 8 packs pooled 30,000 to 60,000 mL for one treatment
  25. random donor platelet packs are used for?
    • thrombocytopenia <50,000 mL
    • pt getting chemotherapy
    • DIC
    • massive transfusion
    • if pt becomes refractory to platelets will need to give single donor packs
  26. preparation of platelet packs from single donor
    • at least 3x10^11 plts in 300 ml
    • storage: RT with constant agitation for 5 days
    • may also be ABO/Rh compatible or HLA compatible
  27. preparation of fresh frozen plasma
    • must be processed within 8 hrs of draw,
    • separated from the prp (platelet rich plasma)
    • 1 unit: 400 mg of factor I suspended in 50 to 250 mL plasma
    • storage: -18C for 12 months, 1 - 6 C for 24 hrs once thawed
  28. use for fresh frozen plasma
    • multiple factor deficiencies
    • massively transfused
    • liver disease
    • DIC
  29. cryoprecipitate, and use
    • is the cold insoluble portion of plasma that precipitates when FFP is thawed between 1- 6 C
    • used primarily for fibrinogen replacement, factor I or 13 deficiencies
  30. storage of cryoprecipitate
    • -18 c for 1 year
    • RT for 6 hrs once thawed
    • 4 hrs if pooled
