42 days
open system packed cell expiration
24 hours
CPDA unit hematocrit requirement
<80%
additive solution unit hematocrit
~55-65%
indications for washed packed cells
history of allergic trx rxn
IgA deficiency with anti-IgA
washed RBC expiration
24 hours
indications for leukocyte reduced RBCs
febrile trx rxn due to HLA antibodies
immunosuppressed/immunodeficient
prevent production of HLA antibodies in chronic trx
irradiated RBC shelf life
28 days or original shelf life (whichever comes first)
why are irradiated red cells given a shortened expiration date?
irradiation weakens RBC membrane, gives unacceptable 24 hour red cell survival after 28 days and increases supernatant potassium

1-6C
liquid red cell transport temp
1-10C
how long after collection are liquid red cells stored?
within 24 hours
effects of increased blood storage temperature
accelerates metabolism
enzymes become active
bacterial growth
effects of decreased blood storage temp
nutrients not utilized
danger of accidental freezing/crystal formation
cells rupture
red cell storage lesion changes
dec plasma pH dec 2,3-DPG dec ATP dec dextrose dec nitric oxide inc plasma Hgb inc plasma potassium inc plasma ammonia

-80C or lower, -65C max
what cryoprotective agent is used in frozen red cells?
glycerol
shelf life of frozen red cells
10 years
when after collection can red cells by frozen?
within 6 days or after rejuvenation
