Blood component therapy This is the seperation of whole blood into its individual components to optimize individual therapeutic potency based on sound physiologic principles and understanding of the relative risks and benefits of each
Available blood components • Whole blood • Packed rbc • Leukocyte-reduced rbc • Platelets • Leucocyte concentrate • Fresh frosen plasma • cryoprecipitate
Indications and use of blood components • Whole blood • This precludes the production of components
Red blood cells • Stored in as-1 soln – shelf life 42days • No funtioning platelets • Low levels of factors V and VIII
Leukocyte reduced RBCs • Indications include • Decrease HLA alloimmunisation • Reduce CMV transfusion • Prevent febrile non-heamolytic reaction
platelets • Indication • Thrombocytopaenia with assoc bleeding • Platelet dysfunction
Types of platelet concentrate • Single random donor unit • Multiple unit-6 to 10 units by apharesis • Hla matched platelets
Leucocyte concentrate • Indications • Profound granulocytopaenia <500/cub mm • With evidence of infection unresponsive to antibiotics
Fresh frozen plasma • Used to replace labile factors • Abnormal PT and aPTT with clinical bleeding • NOT for volume expansion
croprecipitate • Indications • Haemophilia A • Von Willebrand,s disease • hypofibrinogenemia
Risk of blood transfusion • Transfusion reaction • Infection transmission-Hiv hepatits HTLV • Transfusion related acute lung injury • Graft-versus-host reaction • Immunomodulation
Massive transfusion • Defined as more than 10units of packed Rbc • Or replacement of the patient blood volume in 24hrs
Complications MT • ACID-BASE changes • Hyperkalemia • Hypocalcimea • Decrease 2,3-DPG • Dilutional thrombocytopaenia
Blod substitutes& alternatives • Autologous blood • Acute normovolumic hemodilution • Autologous cell salvage • iron supplements • Erythropoetin • Red blood cell substitutes
