RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Room temperature-stored platelets (RTPs) maximize platelet viability but limit shelf life. The aims of this study were to investigate the impact of donor variability on cold-stored platelets (CSPs) and RTP, to determine whether RTP quality markers are appropriate for CSP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Double platelet donations (n = 10) were collected from consented regular male donors stored in 100% plasma. A full blood count, donor age, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were collected at the time of donation. Platelet donations were split equally into two bags, and assigned to non-agitated CSP or agitated RTP. The quality and function of platelets were assessed throughout the standard 7 days of storage and at expiry (day 8). Non-parametric statistical analyses were used to analyse results given the small sample size. RESULTS: As expected, there were significant differences between CSP and RTP throughout storage including a reduction in CSP concentration as well as a loss of swirling. Furthermore, a significant increase in CSP exhibiting activation and apoptotic markers was observed. Platelet concentrations were further impacted by donor BMI, and donors with the highest BMI (>29) had the lowest platelet concentration and activation response at the end of CSP storage. CONCLUSION: Platelet quality and functionality play a vital role in transfusion outcomes; however, blood components are inherently variable. This study demonstrated, for the first time, the specific impact of donor BMI on CSP quality and function and highlights the requirement for novel quality markers for assessing CSPs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and feasibility of platelet transfusion through small-bore long lines used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), including double-lumen umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and 24 G and 28 G peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). DESIGN: Prospective in vitro controlled study. SETTING: Blood transfusion service laboratory. METHODS: In vitro platelet transfusions were set up as per NICU practice. Transfusion line pressure was monitored. Post-transfusion swirling, presence of aggregates, pH analysis and automated cell count in vitro activation response by flow cytometry assessing CD62P expression were assessed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All transfusions completed successfully. The rate of infusion was reduced in 5 of 16 transfusions through 28 G lines due to 'pressure high' alarms. There was no difference in swirling values or transfusion aggregate formation, CD62P expression levels, platelet count, platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume, plateletcrit or platelet to large cell ratio across transfusions post-transfusion. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that in vitro platelet transfusion performed through 24 G and 28 G neonatal PICC lines and double-lumen UVCs is non-inferior to 24 G short cannulas, using outcome measures of platelet clumping, platelet activation and line occlusion. This suggests that where available these lines can be used if necessary for platelet transfusion.
