We have just learned that we have a 32 week pregnant IgA deficient mom admitting tomorrow for observation for the next 2 weeks with plans to deliver at about 34 weeks by C-section because of placenta previa and vasa previa. There is no record of anti-IgA testing that we can see. This is not her first pregnancy--G3P2. She is about 30 years old and was identified as IgA deficient 5 years ago. She is donating 2 autologous RBC and FFP units. I assume there is no extra risk for the baby. We are 3.5 hours' drive from our blood supplier. Any advice appreciated as we create a plan for dealing with possible hemorrhage. -
Anyone heard of the use of autologous cell salvage machine for washing allogeneic blood? How do you validate the "off label" use? What type of QC? Should the units be treated in the same way as units washed in the transfusion service? Any FDA or other regulatory /accreditation body issue with this process? Look forward to your responses
