Blood Collection
Sources:
Voluntary Non-Remunerated
Autologous
Directed
Paid
Blood Collection
Methods
Whole Blood
Apheresis
Blood Collection
Volume of collection dependant on body weight of donor
300-450 mls
Single bag
Double bag
Triple bag
Blood Processing
Component preparation done within 8
hours of collection
Centrifugation to separate different
components of blood
Density gradient
Red cells Platelets Plasma
Components
Red Cell Derived:
Whole Blood
Reconstituted Red Cells
Washed Red Cells
Irradiated Red Cells
Leukoreduced Red Cells
Whole Blood
300 or 450 mls with appropriate
volume of anticoagulant-preservative
Contains red cells and plasma
elements plus anticoagulant (CPD-A)
Haematocrit is 36-40%
Stored at 2-6 C
Shelf-life is 35 days
Whole Blood
Factors V and VIII concentrations are
decreased and platelet function is non-
existent
Indications:
Actively bleeding patients
Exchange transfusion
Reconstituted Red Cells
Prepared from centrifugation of whole
blood and removal of most of the
plasma
Additive solution is added (SAGM –
100 mls)
Approximately 300-330 mls
Haematocrit is 55-60%
Stored at 2-6 C
Reconstituted Red Cells
Shelf-life is 42 days
1 unit of rbcs should increased the Hb
by 1g/dL and the Hct by 3%
Indications:
Acute and chronic anaemias which are
not amenable to drug therapy
Haemorrhage
Components
Platelet derived:
Single donor platelets (Apheresis)
Random donor platelets
Washed platelets
Filtered/Irradiated platelets
Random donor platelets
Platelet concentrates prepared within
8 hours of collection from individual units of whole blood which are stored
at room temperature
Suspended in 50-60 mls of plasma
Approximately 5.5 x 1010 platelets/unit
Random donor platelets
Stored at 20-24 C in continuous gentle
agitation
Shelf life is 5 days
1 unit of RDP should raise the
peripheral plt count by 5,000-
10,000/ul Dosage is 1 unit/10 kg of body weight
(max. of 6 units)
Random donor platelets
Indications:
Thrombocytopenia
Functional Platelet disorders
Single donor platelets
Platelets suspended in plasma
prepared from a single donor by
apheresis
Approximately 150 - 200 ml of plasma
and ACD
At least 2.0 x 1011 platelets/unit
Leucoreduced
Single donor platelets
Stored at 20-24 C in continuous
agitation
Shelf-life is 5 days
Indications:
Same as random donor platelet
• Only advantage as compared to RDP is
reduced number of donor exposures
Components
Plasma derived
Fresh frozen plasma
Cryosupernatant
Cryoprecipitate
Factor concentrates/immunoglobulins/
albumin
Fresh Frozen Plasma
Separated from the cellular elements
of whole blood and frozen within 8
hours
Contains all blood coagulation factors
Approximately 220-250 mls
Stored frozen (< -18 C)
Shelf-life is 1 year
Fresh Frozen Plasma
1 ml FFP contains 1 unit of each
clotting factor activity
Dosage is 10-15 mls/kg
Thawed at 30-37 C prior to transfusion
Fresh Frozen Plasma
Indications
Isolated clotting factor deficiencies
where factor concentrates not
available
Reversal of warfarin effect
Liver disease
DIVC
Massive blood transfusion
Cryoprecipitate
Prepared by thawing frozen units of
plasma
Approximately 30-35 mls
Stored frozen at -18 C , shelf-life 1 yr
1 unit of CP:
150-300 mg fibrinogen
80-120 IU of FVIII
vWF/fibronectin/FXIII
Cryoprecipitate
Indications:
fibrinogen deficiency and
dysfibrinogenemia
uraemic bleeding
haemophilia A and vWD (when factor
concentrates are not available)
DIC
Cryosupernatant
By product from preparation of
cryoprecipitate from plasma
Contains plasma components with the
absence of fibrinogen, FVIII, vWF and
fibronectin
Indications
– liver disease
– warfarin reversal – Exchange transfusion in TTP
Compatibility Testing
Identification of patient and collection of
appropriate samples for testing
Testing of the patient sample and review of
past blood bank records
Selection of appropriate donor units
Crossmatching
Prior to Transfusion
Informed consent
Component selection
Proper documentation and
completion of request forms
Positive patient identification and
blood taking (no pre-labeling)
Patient Preparation
Explain how the transfusion is going
to be given
Venous access
Assemble all necessary equipment
Premedication if required
Equipment
Needles and cathethers
preferably 18 to 20G cannulae
Infusion set
must have an inline 170µm filter
change set after 4 hours of
infusion
Continue..
Blood warmers
– routine warming not warranted unless
infusion exceeds 100ml/min
IV solutions
- ONLY normal saline
Starting The Transfusion
Correct patient
Confirm identity of blood unit
recipient identification
unit identification
ABO and RhD groups
expiration date
Document start transfusion time and
person starting the transfusion
Monitoring Patient During
Transfusion
Close monitoring for first 15 mins
Continue at least 1/2 hourly
monitoring up to 1 hour after
completion
Duration of infusion should not
exceed 4 hours
Completing the transfusion
Record time of completion
Continue monitoring for at least 1
hour after completion of the
transfusion
Return empty blood bags
