Retrospective chart analysis was performed on critically ill patients without overt bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a university hospital. In 83 patients in a 5-month period, who had received at least 1 RBC unit and stayed at least 24 h in the ICU, 199 transfusions of median 2 RBCs per transfusion (n = 504) were studied. Pulmonary parameters were retrieved during the period between 24 h before the start of transfusion and 24[ndash]48 h after transfusion. Outcome was assessed. The PaO2/FIO2 dose-dependently decreased from 250 ± 105 at baseline to 240 ± 102 mmHg at 24 h after RBC transfusion (P = 0·003), irrespective of acute l...

Zenalb® 4·5 was initially manufactured from recovered plasma from UK blood donations and later from source plasma from US donors. The modification was a salt diafiltration step. A prospective survey was conducted at three UK aphaeresis units; data from 154 subjects undergoing 1195 plasma exchanges using Zenalb® 4·5 were collected. Adverse events with at least a possible relationship to treatment were recorded. There were 20 ADRs per 1195 exchanges (1·7%), experienc...

There are no guidelines on the appropriate use of blood at MRRH. Therefore, there was a need to assess the local clinical transfusion practice. Patients' hospital files were studied for evidence of blood transfusions in 2008. All five wards were reviewed and details on the transfusion process were recorded. A total of 1730 patients (median age, 19·0 years; range, 1 day to 88 years; female-to-male ratio, 1·4), for whom blood was cross-matched, were studied. Of these, 1674 (96·8%) patients actually received transfusions, which were as whole blood ...

However, little information is available about the factors predicting the outcome of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection and bone marrow (BM) harvest in this transplantation. The effects of donor characteristics and procedure factors on CD34+ cell yield were investigated. A total of 104 related healthy donors received granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) followed by PBSC collection and BM harvest. Male donors had significantly higher yi...

There is an increased risk of infection in patients with neutropaenia, especially in those with neutrophil counts of less than 0·5 × 109/L, and neutropaenia-associated infection remains a limiting factor in treating malignancy especially of haematopoietic origin. Transfusing donor neutrophils is a logical approach to these problems, but granulocyte transfusion (GTx), a practice first advocated in the 1960s, is underused and although now enjoying resurgence, remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the practical aspects of GTx and clinical responses in patients receiving them. This is an observational retrospective review of GTx in patients undergoing therapy for predominantly haematological malignancies. We reviewed blood bank records and identified patients...

Screening test results of the 72 695 blood donors were evaluated over a 1-year period. Correlation analysis among each initial test and retests was done by Pearson r test. Appropriate S/CO values to determine the need of the confirmation testing was investigated by ROC analyses. EIA intra-assay correlations were of statistical significance and were determined as follows: 0·948 for anti-HCV, 0·827 for anti-HIV and 0·948 for HBsAg. The threshold S/CO ratio values which predicted more than 95% of the confirmation test result we...

Sentinel hospitals were invited to participate in a 1-month pilot-test. The data for receipts and exports of blood from each hospital information system were converted into comma-separated value files according to a specific conversion rule. The daily data from the sites could be transferred to the web-based program server using a semi-automated submission procedure: pressing a key allowed the program to automatically compute the blood inventory level as well as other indices including the minimal inventory ratio (MIR), ideal inventory ratio (IIR), supply index (SI) and utilisation index (UI).

As there were no reliable data in Malawi for the prevalence of red cell alloantibodies or antigens in the population, a study was conducted to screen 1000 patients for the presence of antibodies and to type them for ABO, RhD, C, c, E, e and K antigens and to test 500 donors for these antigens plus Fya, Fyb, Jka, Jkb, S and s. Red cell antibodies were identified in 11 patients [1.1%]; 2 were anti-D, 2 anti-S, 1 anti-Lea+b and 6 anti-M, 4 of which were found in non-transfused males suggesting they might be naturally acquired. The antigen frequencies found were similar to those previously published for Central Africa but 98.2% of donors were found to be Fy(a-b-). All patients tested were K negative and only three donors were found to be K positive, one being a Caucasian. Approximatel...

IDA and BTT are the most common causes of microcytic anaemia. Traditional approach is trial of iron treatment. Where thalassemias are common, this can lead to iron overload and failure to provide diagnosis/counselling in BTT. Initially 925 donor samples were evaluated on cell counter. Of these, 50 were found microcytic. These were subjected to Ferritin and HbA2 determination. Subsequently, additional 51, age- and sex-matched normocytic donor samples were selected as controls. These were subjected to the same tests. Nine indices namely RBC, RDW, Mentz...

Since September 1994, 63 families were enrolled in this study. Families were eligible if they were caring for a patient with a disorder treatable by haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and were experiencing a pregnancy. A total of 72 cord blood units were collected and stored for 64 patients (both siblings and parents). We focussed on human leucocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility and cell content as critical requirements to unit's suitability for transplantation. HLA-typing was carried out for 34 donor[ndash]recipient couples and most units (72%) mismatched with the related patients. About 60% of collections h...

The study was conducted in two blood banks of Karachi. Data regarding the development of immediate VVR were documented. The effect of blood donation on vital parameters like pulse rate, blood pressure (BP), temperature and respiratory rate was also observed. Six hundred and seventy-four blood donors were recruited. All the donors who consented were males. Weakness and dizziness were two most common symptoms which were reported by 91 (13.5%) and 73 (10.8%) of the participants, respectively. Out of 91 donors in whom signs and symptoms of immediate VVR were observed, a significant drop in systolic BP (13.5 ± 2.5 mmHg) and decrease in pulse rate (13.3 ± 3.6) were concurrently noted in 5...

Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have also been shown to exist in cord blood. Although MSCs have been described by a subset of surface antigens after expansion, little is known about the cell surface phenotype of undifferentiated MSCs. The aim of this study therefore was to clarify whether undifferentiated MSCs are resident among CD34[minus] UCB cells. CD34+ cells were separated from UCB mononuclear cells (MNCs) by magnetic sorting and the CD34[minus] cell fractions were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% foetal calf serum (FCS) and basic-fibroblast growth factor. Isolated CD34+ cells were also cultured in the same medium. Adherent f...

Comparisons often rely on transfusion rates, incidence - or prevalence rates. In this paper, the one-year period prevalence rate (1-YPPR) of transfusion of red cells (RBC) is presented. Transfusion data, demographic data and patient data were retrospectively combined to calculate sex and diagnosis specific and age standardized 1-YPPR s of RBC transfusion for the complete population in a Danish county. During the calendar year of 2006, 4427 patients received RBC transfusion in Funen County. The crude 1-YPPR of RBC transfusion was 9.2/1000 citizens. Most of the transfused patients had a main diagnosis of neoplasm (22% of recipients), diseases of the circulatory system (15%), the digestive system (15%), injuries (13%) ...

The serum ferritin levels of 508 regular plateletpheresis donors and 101 non-donors were measured to indicate the level of their iron stores. About 33·9% (156/460) of platelet donors had depleted iron stores compared with 3·1% (3/97) non-donors. Results for male and post-menopausal female donors were similar with 36·2% (131/362) of males and 37·7% (20/53) of post-menopausal females showing iron depletion. There was clear correlation with donation frequency in males with 63·9% (46/72) of males donating at 2 weekly intervals found to be iron deplete...

These particular donors pose a serious hazard to the health care system by increasing the risk of HIV being transmitted through the donated blood. The study was undertaken to discover the effectiveness of new measures introduced to reduce the number of donors using blood donation centres to obtain an HIV test. The measures included increased educational information regarding the hazards of HIV transmission through donated blood, and the availability of special HIV clinics offering free services and anonymity. A survey of blood donors was undertaken over a period of 3 years, from 2004 to 2007. The cross-sectional survey involved 14 752 volunteers and all the participants were asked to ...

ANHTRs are major issues in transfusion medicine. Anti-leukocyte antibodies have been implicated as one of the causative agents of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and febrile reaction. Antibodies to HLA Class I and/or Class II (HLA Abs) have been intensively studied using SPAs for TRALI, but not for febrile reaction. About 107 patients and 186 donors associated with ANHTRs were screened for HLA Abs by SPAs such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the Luminex method. When HLA-I Ab was detected, its specific reactivity was evaluated by ...

Donors negative for all markers with a self-reported history of IVDU (N = 30) and matched controls were identified from an anonymous mail-out survey. In a separate survey, hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive donors participated in a telephone interview, from which all those with IVDU history (N = 29) were selected plus matched controls (combined total 59 IVDU, 236 controls). IVDU donors, when compared with matched controls, tended to believe that it is OK not to answer truthfully if one believes that her/his blood is safe (18· 6% vs. 4· 7%) and that some questions are a little too personal (...

A description of the current epidemiology of PLT-transfused patients is required to optimize platelet transfusion care and to follow trends in PLT use. In 2004 and 2005, information was combined from several computerized medical systems. Participating hospitals (9 hospital districts of 21) handled approximately 64% of annual Finnish hospital admissions. A total of 6321 adult patients were transfused with 37 761 PLT products. Most PLT products (43·1%) were transfused to patients suffering from haematological malignancies. Only 1·0% of all surgical patients received PLTs (53·8% of PLT recipients and 35·8% of transfused PLTs). The most common single operation connected with PLT transfusion was c...

As platelet antigens are very important in several clinical situations and in population genetics, we used the polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) to investigate HPA-1, -2, -3 and -5 allele frequencies in the Croatian population. The HPA frequencies obtained in 219 Croatians were: 1a[ndash]0·854, 1b[ndash]0·146, 2a[ndash]0·890, 2b[ndash]0·110, 3a[ndash]0·575, 3b[ndash]0·425, 5a[ndash]0·895 and 5b[ndash]0·105.

In 2008 voluntary and non remunerated Iranian donors donated 1.8 million units of blood. This indicates a 25/1000 donation index. After responding to the needs for fresh plasma and cryoprecipitate each year about 150000 L of recovered plasma are reserved for fractionation. In an attempt to improve both blood safety profile and availability and affordability of plasma derived medicines, Iran's national transfusion service has entered into a contract fractionation agreement for surplus of plasma produced from donated blood by voluntary non remunerated donors.

Phlebotomy has been shown to be a significant cause of iatrogenic blood loss in critical care. However, there has been limited research in patients with renal disease, at risk from anaemia. A prospective observational study was conducted of 70 consecutive patients admitted to an acute renal medicine ward in a tertiary care hospital over a period of four months. Inclusion criteria included adult patients with acute or chronic renal failure. Patients actively bleeding were excluded. Blood loss due to phlebotomy was determined from the patient's computerised records. The mean patient age was 61.5 ± 16.5 years; the mean length of hospital stay was 23.1 ± ...

It was the longest series yet to be published, incorporating what was then a novel procedure for treating war casualties. Returning to civilian life Fleming, a qualified surgeon and bacteriologist, chose a different career path, and not until the wars of the late 1930s were the advances in transfusion in WW1 fully incorporated into the management of trauma and haemorrhage. Like penicillin, the benefits of indirect transfusion were only slowly realised.

Among the family of herpes viruses, only cytomegalovirus (CMV) and, to a lesser extent, human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) are of relevance in transfusion medicine. Due to neutropism, herpes simplex viruses (HSV) types 1 and 2 are considered to be of minor relevance. However, several reports gave evidence that a HSV DNAemia might occur and HSV could therefore be transmissible by blood products. The aim of our study was to collect data about prevalence of HSV antibodies among blood donors and to clarify whether HSV DNAemia is possible. HSV antibody states of 653 blood donors were investigated. Blood specimens of 46 patients with primary and recurrent HSV infection were tested for HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA using TaqMan polymerase chain reaction. In 505 of the 653 blood donors HSV antibodies wer...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency disorder caused by defects in NADPH oxidase and characterized by recurrent life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections. Although CGD has been considered to be a target for gene therapy, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is now selected as the radical treatment in most cases. We performed BMT in a patient with CGD with severe infections and experienced respiratory complications of diffuse alveolar haemorrhage and/or infection-associated alveolar haemorrhage. We suggest that attention be paid to signs of onset of alveolar haemorrhage during BMT in CGD patients.
