RBC Transfusion Recommendations for Hospitalized, Hemodynamically stable patients in specific clinical Situations
Rate of Production of Platlet Concentration
2-5 x 10^6 / sec in adults.
Normal range of Platlet Concentration
- 150-400 x 10^9/L.
- 150-400 x 10^6/cm3
- 150-400 x 10^3/mm3
Antigens of Platlet Concentration
- Strong expression of HLA class-I antigens.
- Weak expression of ABO antigens.
Types of platlet concentrate
when are HLA-matched platelets Used?
Used in refractory patients who don’t have satisfactory respor a normal platelet transfusion.
what is Platelet refractoriness?
The repeated failure to obtain satisfactory response to platelet transfusion.
Temperature of Platlet Storage
between 20°C & 24°C
Storing of Platlet Storage
A platelet agitator…
- Ensure viability & prevent aggregation.
- By providing continuous gentle horizontal motion to the packs.
Causes of Platelet refractoriness
Shelf life of Platlet Storage
5 - 7 days.
If any gross aggregates are seen do not transfuse.
if any gross aggregates are seen do not transfuse.
Adminstation of Platlet Concentration
Indications of Platlet Concentration
- TTT
- Prophylaxis
Indications of Platlet Concentration as a TTT
Aim: A platelet count of >75 x 10’ /L
In multiple trauma & eye or CNS injury: keep platelet count >100 x 10°/L
Indications of Platlet Concentration as a prophylaxis
Platelel count Less than 10 x 10^9 /L
- Platelet transfusion is not required routinely prior to bone marrow aspiration/biopsy, Prophylaxis in stable patients with long term bone marrow failure.
Plalelel count less tahn 20 x 10^9 / L & presence of Additional risk factors for bleeding as sepsis
Target platelet counts during surgery
Content of Fresh Frozen Plasma
- Plasma, including all coagulation factors & plasma proteins.
- All cellular components are removed from the transfusion product.
