Because of the diminishing effect of increased plasma removal, it is recommended that approximately ______ (range) plasma volumes be exchanged per procedure.

1. Infection for 24 to 48 hours that is unresponsive to treatment 2. Myeloid hypoplasia of the bone marrow 3. Chance for bone marrow recovery (reversal)

Criteria for a granulocyte transfusion: 1. Infection for 24 to 48 hours that is (responsive/unresponsive) to treatment 2. Myeloid (hypoplasia/hyperplasia) of the bone marrow 3. (Chance/No chance) for bone marrow recovery

The patient could have a hematologic malignancy. Apheresis could be used to remove excess WBCs

Describe a reason a patient may have a therapeutic apheresis procedure?

A procedure where whole blood is removed from the body and passed through an instrument that separates out one or more blood components. The remaining portion (or constituent) is returned to the individual.

Describe what apheresis is.

5.5× 10^10

Each unit of platelets from whole blood (RDPs) must contain at least ________ platelets

Acid citrate dextrose is given - this anticoagulant will be introduced to the patient where it will bind calcium. This can cause temporary inhibition of coagulation in the donor.

Effect of Anticoagulation: What anticoagulant is used to prevent anticoagulation in the machine? How does the addition of the anticoagulant affect the donor?

platelets that were sequestered in the spleen are released

Effects of cellular loss: When platelets are apheresed out, what happens to the donor in the following days?

As a component is removed from apheresis fluid, that is also being lost by the donor. Without infusing donor with additional fluid, donor may experience hypotension and an increased heart rate. Vasovagal reactions can occur.

Effects of fluid shift: How do apheresis volume changes affect the donor? What are some neurological effects?

thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)

FFP is only recommended as a replacement fluid in what patients? (x2)

The centrifugation separates items based on specific gravity or weight.

How are components separated out in apheresis?

50-60%

The concentration of most plasma substances is reduced by ______% (range) after one standard plasmapheresis treatment

RBC loss no greater than 25 mL per week

The goal of plasma donation is to have a RBC loss of no more than what?

It changes the centrifuge speed and diameter

The instrument allows you to select a specific constituent to be isolated. What does the instrument do to specifically isolate that component?

15

The patient's extracorporeal blood volume (ECV) should be <______% of the total blood volume (TBV) in order to minimize the risk of hypovolemia. This is calculated by patient

Anticoagulants are added, which can alter the fluid to cell volume balance. Cellular loss will also change that.

There can be some impact to the donor as components are reinfused.

Continuous flow centrifugation (CFC)

This method of apheresis has blood withdrawal, processing, and reinfusion performed simultaneously. This requires two venipuncture sites.

Intermittent Flow Centrifugation (IFE)

This method of apheresis processes blood in batches, reinfusing blood before drawing more. This can use one or two needles.

20,000 to 60,000/μL

Transfusing an adult patient with a plateletpheresis unit should increase their platelet count by what?

Every 16 weeks (If the person donated one RBC and one plasma and/or platelet collected, must wait 56 days prior to donating another red cell product)

How often can a person donate Double Red Cells (Power red)?

Every 2 days (not more than two times in 7 days, no more than 24 times per 12-month period)

How often can a person donate a single unit of platelets?

Every 7 days

How often can a person donate double or triple units of platelets?

Every 2 days, no more than two times in 7 days

How often can a person who frequently donates plasma donate?

Every 4 weeks (no more than 13 times/year)

How often can a person who infrequently donates plasma donate?

Every 2 days

How often can granulocytes be donated?

In some cases, an oral calcium tablet may be given to the donor. Anticoagulants can lower the donor's body temperature, so they are also given blankets.

How can we mitigate the effects of anticoagulants in the donor?

Aspirin = 48 hours. Antiplatelets = up to 14 days

How long must a person defer from PLT donation after taking aspirin? Other antiplatelet medications?

10.5

Per AABB Standards, the extracorporeal blood volume should not exceed _____ mL per kg of body weight

30-60%

Plateletpheresis can be used to treat thrombocythemia with related symptoms. Plateletpheresis reduces count by ______% (range)

Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)

Removal and retention of the plasma, with return of all cellular components. Effective therapeutic tool for removal of IgM antibodies.

Erythrocytapheresis

Removes a large quantity of RBCs from the patient and returns the patient's plasma and platelets with compatible allogeneic donor RBCs.

It alters the function of lymphocytes. FDA approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. May also be used for GvHD.

Utilizes leukapheresis to collect the buffy coat layer from whole blood. The buffy coat is treated with 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and exposed to ultraviolet A (UVA) light before reinfusion. What does this do?

Give supplemental calcium

What can be done to prevent citrate toxicity in a patient?
