dcharland Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 At what age do you allow ABO incompatible Apheresis Single Donor Platelets? Presently we use 10 years as the cut off, all children under 10 must receive ABO compatible, if it's not available we wash(!) the Platelet. We don't want to start concentrating and removing the plasma. However, if someone out there has a procedure could you share it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobea Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 HiI'll share an SOP - send me an email and I'll attach it to my reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcharland Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 That would be great if you would share your SOP! My email is debra.charland@inova.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabel Adams Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I would wonder if a certain body weight might be more meaningful. Children, especially sick ones, can have a huge difference in body size (and therefore blood volume)--or is weight too hard to consistently get in a timely fashion? It is recorded in our computer system once it is established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathervaught Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 We have validated a washed apheresis platelet procedure on our Cobe 2991 Cell Processor, using 0.9% NaCl in the V2 position. The program is BASICALLY as follows:Super out Rate = 100 mL/minAgitate Time = 100 SecSuper Out Volume = 425 mLCycle 1: Spin Time = 10 min, V2Cycle 2: Spin Time = 5 Min, V2Cycle 3: Spin Time = 5 min, change Super Out volume to 550 mLFor the Cycle 1 spin timer, if you have a programmable board, you can just set the time to 10 minutes. If you have the old peg-board and dial model, then you have to set the timer to 5 minuts and start with the auto/manual switch set to "Manual". Set a timer for 5 minutes, then press Start/Spin. When your timer goes off, flip the auto/manual switch back to "Auto", and the program will start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeachBB Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Our policy is to use ABO identical or compatible up to and including 16 years of age.......If not abailable, we will either wash or volume reduce. Most techs will choose to wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adiescast Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We make every effort to ABO match or plasma compatible for all of our platelet transfusions. Since we are giving pheresis platelets, giving out of type would be like giving a unit of plasma out of type. Most people would not even consider doing that, but do not hesitate to give out of type platelets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
