RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Massive hemorrhage is a leading cause of death from trauma. There is growing interest in group O whole blood transfusions to mitigate coagulopathy and hemorrhagic shock. Insufficient availability of low-titer group O whole blood is a barrier to routine use. We tested the efficacy of the Glycosorb® ABO immunoadsorption column to reduce anti-A/B titers in group O whole blood. METHODS: Six group O whole blood units were collected from healthy volunteers, and centrifuged to separate platelet poor plasma. Platelet-poor plasma was filtered through a Glycosorb® ABO antibody immunoabsorption column, then reconstituted to prepare post-filtration whole blood. Anti-A/B titers, CBC, free hemoglobin, and thromboelastography (TEG) assays were performed on pre-and post-filtration whole blood. RESULTS: Mean( ± SEM) anti-A (224 ± 65 pre vs 13 ± 4 post) and anti-B (138 ± 38 pre vs 11 ± 4 post) titers were significantly reduced (p = 0.004) in post-filtration whole blood. No significant changes were detected in CBC, free hemoglobin, and TEG parameters on day 0. Free hemoglobin increased throughout storage (48 mg/dl ± 24 Day 0 vs 73 ± 35 Day 7 vs 96 ± 44 Day 14; p = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS: The Glycosorb® ABO column can significantly reduce anti-A/B isoagglutinin titers of group O whole blood units. Glycosorb® ABO could be employed to provide whole blood with lower risk of hemolysis and other consequences of infusing ABO incompatible plasma. Preparation of group O whole blood with substantially reduced anti-A/B would also increase the supply of low-titer group O whole blood for transfusion.

RESUMEN

The important scientific and clinical advances of the last century in transfusion medicine include methods for avoiding hemolytic transfusion reactions and preventing transmission of viral infectious diseases. The next great clinical advances will require improving the efficacy and safety of transfusions, as well as acknowledgement of the now proven serious complications of transfusion, including nosocomial infection, thrombosis, inflammation and multi-organ failure. Possible strategies include (1) universal leukoreduction to mitigate transfusion immunomodulation effects and improve storage conditions, (2) minimizing transfusion of ABO incompatible antibodies and cellular/soluble antigens, (3) substituting use of safer solutions for normal saline during apheresis, component infusion and washing (4) new techniques to improve the efficacy and safety of blood components, including improved storage solutions/conditions, supernatant removal by washing, and rejuvenation and (5) maximizing the risk to benefit ratio of transfusions by employing more restrictive and physiologic indications for transfusion (including patient blood management) and improving clinical decision making through novel laboratory and bedside tests such as thromboelastography.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether transfusion of cell saver salvaged, stored at the bedside for up to 24 hrs, would decrease the number of postoperative allogeneic RBC transfusions and donor exposures, and possibly improve clinical outcomes. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical trial. SETTING: Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Infants weighing less than 20 kg (n = 106) presenting for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects were randomized to a cell saver transfusion group where cell saver blood was available for transfusion up to 24 hrs after collection, or to a control group. Cell saver subjects received cell saver blood for volume replacement and/or RBC transfusions. Control subjects received crystalloid or albumin for volume replacement and RBCs for anemia. Blood product transfusions, donor exposures, and clinical outcomes were compared between groups. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Children randomized to the cell saver group had significantly fewer RBC transfusions (cell saver: 0.19 ± 0.44 vs. control: 0.75 ± 1.2; p = 0.003) and coagulant product transfusions in the first 48 hrs post-op (cell saver: 0.09 ± 0.45 vs. control: 0.62 ± 1.4; p = 0.013), and significantly fewer donor exposures (cell saver: 0.60 ± 1.4 vs. control: 2.3 ± 4.8; p = 0.019). This difference persisted over the first week post-op, but did not reach statistical significance (cell saver: 0.64 ± 1.24 vs. control: 1.1 ± 1.4; p = 0.07). There were no significant clinical outcome differences. CONCLUSION: Cell saver blood can be safely stored at the bedside for immediate transfusion for 24 hrs after collection. Administration of cell saver blood significantly reduces the number of RBC and coagulant product transfusions and donor exposures in the immediate postoperative period. Reduction of blood product transfusions has the potential to reduce transfusion-associated complications and decrease postoperative morbidity. Larger studies are needed to determine whether this transfusion strategy will improve clinical outcomes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: There are multiple benefits to transfusing only ABO-identical blood components. Historically our institution routinely transfused ABO-nonidentical platelets (PLTs) and cryoprecipitate to surgical patients. In April 2005, we implemented a policy of transfusing only ABO-identical components whenever feasible, regardless of outdating or logistic considerations. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Technical staff closely monitored product usage and adjusted blood center orders based on recent utilization and planned transfusions. When unable to provide ABO-identical PLTs, ABO-compatible PLTs were washed to remove incompatible plasma. Data on outdating were collected for 18 months before and after implementation. We compared transfusion reaction and red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization incidence for 4 years preceding (2001-2004) and subsequent (2006-2009) to implementation. RESULTS: In the year after implementation, only 11 of 410 surgical patients received ABO-nonidentical PLTs (2.7%). There was a 5.6% increase in outdating of PLTs. Transfusing ABO-identical components was associated with significant reductions in febrile (-46%; 8.0 to 4.3 per 10,000 components; p < 0.0001) and allergic transfusion reactions (-23%; from 7.0 to 5.4 per 10,000 components; p = 0.025). A progressive reduction in de novo RBC alloimmunization incidence also occurred (-50% by 2009; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Providing ABO-identical PLTs to almost all patients was feasible in our setting by changing ordering and inventorying procedures and making the ABO-identical policy a staff priority. Unexpected and striking reductions in febrile and allergic reactions and RBC alloimmunization were observed, of uncertain causal relationship to this ABO policy change, which will require further study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary adverse events after transfusion include transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) and transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), which are potentially lethal and incompletely understood. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: To determine whether the incidence of TRALI and TACO was affected by leukoreduction we conducted a retrospective, before-and-after study of acute transfusion reactions for the 7years before and after introduction of universal leukoreduction in 2000, involving 778,559 blood components. RESULTS: Substantial decreases occurred in the rates of TRALI (-83%; from 2.8 cases per 100,000 components before to 0.48 after universal leukoreduction; p=0.01), TACO (-49%; 7.4 to 3.8 cases per 100,000; p=0.03), and febrile reactions (-35%; 11.4 to 7.4 cases per 10,000; p<0.0001). The incidence of allergic reactions remained unchanged (7.0 per 100,000 before and after universal leukoreduction). These outcomes were primarily attributable to decreased TRALI and/or TACO associated with red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusions (-64%) with notably smaller decreases associated with fresh-frozen plasma or cryoprecipitate transfusions (-29%). The incidence of TRALI and/or TACO after 28,120 washed RBC and 69,325 washed transfusions was zero. CONCLUSION: These data suggest novel hypotheses for further testing in animal models, in prospective clinical trials, and via the new US hemovigilance system: 1) Is TACO or TRALI mitigated by leukoreduction? 2) Is the mechanism of TACO more complex than excessive blood volume? and 3) Does washing mitigate TRALI and TACO due to PLT and RBC transfusions?

RESUMEN

SARS-CoV-2 (also known as COVID-19) has been an unprecedented challenge in many parts of the medical field with blood banking being no exception. COVID-19 has had a distinctly negative effect on our blood collection nationwide forcing blood banks, blood centers, and the US government to adopt new policies to adapt to a decreased blood supply as well as to protect our donors from COVID-19. These policies can be seen distinctly in patient blood management and blood bank operations. We are also faced with developing policies and procedures for a nontraditional therapy, convalescent plasma; its efficacy and safety is still not completely elucidated as of yet.

RESUMEN

The main clinical distinction between post-transfusion purpura (PTP) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is the sudden development of severe thrombocytopenia in the days after transfusion. Herein, we report the case of a 53-year-old Caucasian woman who developed multiple myeloma (MM) after peripheral blood-stem-cell transplant (PBSCT), along with severe thrombocytopenia (with a nadir of 1 × 109/L); she also experienced severe adverse events after each platelet transfusion, including the first one. These reactions were absent with any other transfused blood products. The results of an human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class-1 panel reactive antibody assay were 0%, and the results of a platelet-antibody screening assay were positive for HLA class-1 antibodies and glycoprotein (Gp)IIb/IIIa antibodies. Her platelet count reached 42 × 109 per L on day 50, after rituximab on day 22 and daratumumab on day 29. Her clinical scenario was most consistent with the course of PTP.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Washing cellular blood products is accepted to ameliorate repeated severe allergic reactions but is associated with RBC hemolysis and suboptimal platelet function. We compared in vitro hemolysis and platelet function in blood components after washing with Plasma-Lyte A (PL-A) vs normal saline (NS). METHODS: RBC (n = 14) were washed/resuspended in NS or PL-A. Free hemoglobin and heme were determined at 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Platelet concentrates (PCs; n = 21) were washed with NS or PL-A and resuspended in same washing solution (n = 13) or ABO-identical plasma (n = 8). Platelet aggregation and spreading were evaluated. RESULTS: The 24-hour free hemoglobin and heme levels were higher in NS (P < .05). Improved platelet function was observed in PL-A-washed PCs (P < .001). DISCUSSION: PL-A showed less RBC hemolysis and better platelet function than NS. Whether such differences would occur in vivo is unknown.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite dramatically improved long term outcomes seen with all-trans retinoic acid therapy, and now arsenic trioxide, in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), early mortality remains a substantial challenge. Recent data from a single center study and the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry report 30day mortality rates of 26% (n=18 of 70) and 17% (n=238 of 1400), respectively. Early deaths are predominately due to hemorrhage. Patients with APL invariably have abnormal laboratory hemostasis tests. The standard of practice is to prophylactically transfuse platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate to mitigate abnormal platelet counts, PT/PTT and fibrinogen levels. Standard blood bank practice is to transfuse platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate largely without regard to ABO blood group (platelets, cryoprecipitate), and, in some centers, transfusing ABO non-identical universal donor group AB plasma. Evidence from observational studies suggests that use of ABO non-identical blood components may be associated with increased bleeding. We hypothesized that use of ABO identical blood components and saline washed transfusions (red cells and platelets) would be associated with reduced early mortality in APL by avoidance of transfusion induced hemostatic dysfunction. METHODS: This is a single center cohort study of APL patients treated in an 800 bed university community and referral hospital. Novel approaches to transfusion support, based upon randomized trials, include implementation of ABO identical platelet transfusions for all patients with acute leukemia in 1990, use of only ABO identical cryoprecipitate in 2005, and washed transfusions of red cells and platelets for all patients with acute leukemia <50years of age beginning in 2006. Plasma transfusion has always been ABO identical. Two comparison populations were recent literature reports and the New York State Cancer Registry. We characterized 30 day mortality in APL patients seen in our institution since 2000 as a convenience sample comparable to literature reports, beginning approxcimately when ATRA therapy became uniform for induction therapy. Only patients receiving their induction therapy in our hospital were included. RESULTS: Of 41 patients there were 2 early (30 day) deaths (5%; a 71-81% reduction from expected). Early mortality at 100 days was 7% (n=3). The 30 day mortality in the younger cohort <50years of age (n=16) receiving washed transfusions was 0%. Restricting the analysis to patients treated since 2006 (ABO identical transfusions, mostly washed) (n=27; mean age 43 years; median 41 years; range 12-79), the early mortality rate at 30days was 3.7%. Long-term survival (5 years) of our APL patients was similar to New York State Cancer Registry and literature reports (80-83%). DISCUSSION: APL patients supported with transfusion regimens including ABO identical blood components, with or without washing, experienced early mortality at 30 days that was strikingly improved (71% to 86% lower) compared with that reported in the recent literature (3.7% to 5% vs. 17% to 26%). If these observed low rates of early mortality are related to transfusion practices, avoidance of ABO immune complex formation, and subsequent interference with hemostasis, is a plausible contributing mechanism. These favorable results provide a rationale for randomized trials of relatively simple and inexpensive approaches to reducing early hemorrhagic mortality in APL: use of ABO identical transfusions and washing to remove supernatant plasma.
