History
• 1818 – the first human-to-human transfusion takes place….unfortunately patient dies
• 1901 – Karl Landsteiner discovers blood groups
• 1907 – checking for incompatibilities (crossmatching) is performed and leads to less transfusion reactions (N=128)
• 1916 – a citrate-glucose solution is developed to prolong the life of stored blood (weeks)
History
• 1917 – the first blood depot is formed with Group O blood for casualties in World War I
• 1922-1937 – more blood donor and transfusion services are established and the term “blood bank” is coined
• 1939-1940 – Rh system discovered
• World War II begins….
History
• 1940 – Plasma of Britain campaign begins after a shortage of plasma in WWII; plasma separation methods are first used
• 1941 – the American Red Cross organizes a civilian blood donor service for WWII
+
History
• 1960’s – Factor VIII concentrate developed for hemophiliacs
• 1971 – Blood banking becomes regulated by the FDA
• 1980’s – dozens of blood recipients develop what is now called AIDS
• 1980’s to present – more sensitive tests have been developed to screen donors (hepatitis and HIV)
Blood Donation
• Parts of the donation process:– Donor screening
• Physical exam and medical history
– Blood collection• Phlebotomy, adverse reactions, blood labeling
– Special donors• Directed donation, autologous donation,
hemapheresis, and therapeutic phlebotomy
Blood Donation
• Most blood donations are allogeneic
• Allogeneic donations are used for the general population
• Donors are not paid for donations; nor are they required to donate
• Donor centers must keep a record on each donor for at least 10 years
ABO Blood Groups
• Based on 2 Antigens (agglutinogens)
• 4 blood types: A, B, AB, O
• Blood antigens are genetically coded located on the surface of RBC membrane
• Antigen found on RBC corresponds to blood type.
Blood Groups
• TYPE ANTIGEN PRESENT
– A A– B B– AB AB– O Neither A nor B
Blood Groups
• Antibodies are called agglutinins they develop after birth in the plasma
• You will have the antibody for the antigen that is NOT present.
• If you have A blood you have the A antigen on your RBC, and you will develop the B antibody
Antibody
• TYPE ANTIGEN ANTIBODY
• A A anti B
• B B anti A
• AB AB neither
• O neither anti A antiB
BLOOD TYPE PERCENTAGE
O 45%
A 40%
B 11%
AB 4%
• A reaction outside the body between antigens and antibodies result in agglutination which means the blood cells clump together.
• A reaction within the body between antigens and antibodies results in hemolysis which means the red cells burst
Rh Factors
• 1946 Landsteiner, Levine and Weiner did research on the rhesus monkey and developed the Rh factor
• Three genes code for the antigen on red cells- C, D, E
• Blood Types based on Rh
• Rh positive means the Rh antigen is present on the RBC (+)
• Rh negative means the Rh antigen is not present on the RBC (-)
• Rh negative people that receive Rh positive blood, will trigger the immune system to develop Rh antibodies, that will remain in the blood
Erythroblastosis Fetalis
• Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn
• A Rh negative mom may be exposed to an Rh antigen from the blood of a Rh positive baby during pregnancy or birth.
• If Rh + cell enters Rh- mom, the mother’s immune system will respond and produce antibodies against the Rh positive blood antigen
• In pregnancies thereafter Rh antibody may cross the placenta, and cause RBC hemolysis in fetus. The baby will be anemic and very ill.
• This can be avoided by giving a Rh- mom antibodies, in the form of a RhoGam shot within 72 hours after delivery of every Rh+ child
Donor Screening
• Registration
• AABB Standards require that the donor be linked to the donor records (photo ID)
• Required information:– Name (first, last, MI)
– Date and time of donation
– Address
– Telephone
– Gender
– Age (date of birth) – allogeneic donors must be at least 17 years of age
Drugs• Aspirin, piroxicam, Plavix®: if taken within 3 days
(some say 48 hours), you cannot donate platelets by apheresis; however, whole blood donations are acceptable. Remember: aspirin effects platelet function (inhibits cyclooxygenase); Plavix blocks ADP receptors on platelets
• Chemotherapy: wait 4 weeks from last dose
• Human Growth hormone: permanent deferral
• Heparin or Coumadin: wait at least 5 days after discontinuing therapy (or until clotting is regulated)
Have you donated blood in the last 8 weeks?
• The time interval between allogeneic whole blood donation is 8 weeks
• A donor must wait 48 hours after donating platelets / plasma, before donating whole blood
Physical Examination
• General Appearance (donations are now accepted from those 16 yrs old)
• Weight
• Temperature
• Pulse
• Blood Pressure
• Hemoglobin
• Skin Lesions
Physical Exam: General Appearance
• The donor should not show:– Intoxication– Drug-induced mental impairment– Signs of infection– Skin lesions on arms
(IV drug use)
• Should appear alert
Physical Exam: Weight
• Hypovolemia is a decrease in intravascular blood volume
• A minimum weight limit of 110 lbs. is used to avoid hypovolemia
• This means the maximum amount of blood that can be removed is 10.5 mL/kg of donor weight (donor unit including tubes for testing)
• Each bag can hold 450 or 500 mL of blood• Adjustments can be made if patient is small
Physical Exam: Hemoglobin
• Hemoglobin can quickly be obtained from a finger stick
• Hemoglobin should be high enough to support 405-550 mL of blood
• Hemoglobin should be ≥12.5 g/dL
• Hematocrit should be ≥38%
3 times rule 12.5 g/dL X 3 = 37.5% or 38%
Hemoglobin Testing
• Copper sulfate method or point-of-care instruments using a spectrophotometric method
• Copper sulfate method:– Solution of CuSO4 has a specific gravity of 1.054– The SG of blood correlates with the hemoglobin– A small blood sample is dropped in the solution to see
if it floats or sinks– Difficult to dispose of, so the test may eventually be
replaced
Informed consent
• Before donation, a donor must provide informed consent
• If for any reason a donor doesn’t think their blood is safe to donate, they may affix a barcoded sticker to the unit indicated it should not be used
• It is all kept confidential….
BLOOD COMPONENT
• RED BLOOD CELLS SUSPENSION (PACKED RED CELLS)
• THROMBOCYTE CONCENTRATE

• PENCEGAHAN: RADIASI KOMPONEN DARAH
Irradiation of Blood Components
Irradiation of Blood Components
• Cellular blood components are irradiated to destroy viable T- lymphocytes which may cause Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD).
• GVHD is a disease that results when immunocompetent, viable lymphocytes in donor blood engraft in an immunocompromised host, recognize the patient tissues as foreign and produce antibodies against patient tissues, primarily skin, liver and GI tract. The resulting disease has serious consequences including death.
• GVHD may be chronic or acute
‘‘LEUCOCYTE-POOR’ RED BLOOD CELLSLEUCOCYTE-POOR’ RED BLOOD CELLS
• PREVENTS NON-HEMOLYTIC FEVER AND ALLOIMMUNIZATION
• TECHNIQUE: RADIATION, WASHING, FILTRATION, CENTRIFUGING, SEDIMENTATION, FREEZING
FRESH FROZEN PLASMA (F.F.P.)
• PLASMA – CENTRIFUGE, IMMEDIATELY FROZEN ( - 80 C )
• VOLUME 1 UNIT = 180-240 ML
• INITIAL DOSE (ADULT, 70KG): 3 - 4 UNIT, EVERY 12-24 HOURS AS INDICATED
• IMPORTANT: ‘SHORT HALF LIFE’
FREH FROZEN PLASMA (F.F.P.)
• COAGULATION FACTOR DEFICIENCY
• MASSIVE BLOOD TRANSFUSION
• BLEEDING DUE TO WARFARIN
• SOMETIMES USED ALSO FOR D.I.C. AND THROMBOLYTIC OVER DOSAGE
CRYOPRECIPITATE
• RICH IN FACTOR VIII, FIBRINOGEN, PLUS FACTOR XIII, FACTOR VON WILLEBRAND
• INDICATION: HYPOFIBRINOGENEMIA, HEMOFILIA-A, AND VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE
• dose: 1-4 unit / 10 KG
Platelet Concentrate
RBCs PRP
Plasma
Platelet concentrate
Pooling Platelets• 6-10 units transferred into one bag• Expiration = 4 hours
PROPHYLACTIC THROMBOCYTE TRANSFUSION
• N.I.H. CONSENSUS CONFERENCE (1987) : THROMBOCYTE LESS THAN 10-20.000/MM3, HIGHER LEVEL FOR SYSTEMIC BLEEDING OR PATIENTS WITH HIGHER BLEEDING RISKS
Apheresis
• Apheresis involves the removal of whole blood, separating specific components, and returning the unused portion back to the donor– Plateletpheresis (no more than 2x per week)– Plasmapheresis (tested for protein and Ig; 2x wk)– Leukopheresis (uses components to stimulate
granulocytes; hydroxyethyl starch, steroids, G-CSF)– Double RBC pheresis (2 units every 16 weeks)
Apheresis Platelet Concentrate
• Used to decrease donor exposure, obtain HLA matched platelets for patients who are refractory to RD-PC or prevent platelet refractoriness from occurring.
• Prepared by hemapheresis.• One pheresed unit is equivalent to 5-6 RD-PC.• Store at 20-24 C (RT) with agitation for 5 days.• D negative patients should be transfused with D
negative platelets due to the presence of a small number of RBCs
Apheresis Platelet Concentrate
• One bag (unit) from one donor
• One unit is a therapeutic dose
• Volume approximately 250 ccs
THROMBAPHERESIS
• ADVANTAGE: PREVENTS AUTO-ANTIBODY IN MULTIPLE RANDOM DONOR TRANSFUSION
• BEST FOR PATIENTS WITH AGGRESSIVE CHEMOTHERAPY (e.g. ACUTE LEUKEMIA), BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION / P.B.S.C.-T
Blood Typing
• Blood typing is when blood samples are tested with known antiseras that contain known antibodies
Cross Matching
• Cross matching is where typing the donor’s RBC’s are mixed with the recipients serum to check for compatibility before a blood transfusion
#Crossmatching (50 min)
1) Confirms ABO and Rh typing
2) Detects antibodies to the other blood group systems
3) Detects antibodies in low titers or those that do not agglutinate easily
Blood blank practices

# Antibody screen : Indirect Coombs test
(45 mins)
the subject serum + red cells
( antigenic composition) ----- red cell agglutination
# Type&screen
# Emergency transfusion
T&S -determines ABO and Rh status and the presence of most commonly encountered antibodies – risk of adverse rxn is 1:1000
-takes about 5 mins
T&C -determines ABO and Rh status as well as adverse rxn to even low incidence antigens – risk of rxn is 1:10,000
-takes about 45 mins

T&S:Type O red cells are mixed with pt serum Antibody screen
T&C Type O red cells are mixed with pt serum Antibody screen
Donor red cells are then mixed with the pt’s serum to determine possible incompatibility
:
Immunomodulatory effects of transfusion
• Wound infection: circumstantial evidence (? leukocyte filters for immunocompromised)
• Beneficial effects on renal graft survival (now < NB with CyA)– 97: 9% graft survival advantage after 5 years
• Nonspecific overload of RES lymphocytes, APCs– Modification T helper/suppressor ratio– Allogeneic lymphocytes may circulate for years after
transfusion
INFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONSINFECTIOUS COMPLICATIONS
I. Viral (Hepatitis 88% of per unit viral risk)
Hepatitis B • Risk 1/ 200,000 due to HBsAg, antiHBc
screening (7-17 % of PTH) • Per unit risk 1/63-66,000• 0.002% residual HBV remains in ‘negative’
donors (window 2-16 weeks)• Anti-HBc testing retained as surrogate marker for
HIV
NANB and Hepatitis C

I, II and p24 Ag), window 6-8 weeks (third generation ELISA tests in Europe)
sero -ve window to < 16 days
HTLV I, II
• Only in cellular components (not FFP, cryo)• Risk 1/ 641,000 (window period unknown)• Screening for antibody I may not pick up II
CJD (and variant CJD)
CMV
• Cellular components only• Problem in immunocompromised, although 80
% adults have serum Ab• WBC filtration decreases risk of transmission• CMV -ve blood:
– CMV -ve pregnant patients, LBW neonates, CMV -ve transplant recipient,
– CMV-ve/ HIV +ve
II. Bacterial• Contamination unlikely in products stored for > 72
hours at 1-6 0 C • gram –ve, gram +ve bacteria most frequent – Yersinia enterocolitica
Produced endotoxin Platelets stored at room temperature for 5 days, with
infection rate of 0.25%
III. Protozoal• Trypanosoma cruzi (Chaga’s disease) • Malaria• Toxoplasmosis• Leishmaniasis
Serological Testingfor Infectious markers
• HIV – Ag
• Anti – HIV
• HBsAg
• Anti – HCV

TRANSFUSION REACTIONSTRANSFUSION REACTIONS
• is any unfavorable transfusion-related event occurring in a patient during or after transfusion of blood components
TRANSFUSION REACTIONSTRANSFUSION REACTIONS
@RBC’s !• Nonhemolytic 1-5 % transfusions Causes -Physical or chemical destruction of
blood: freezing, heating, hemolytic drug -solution added to blood -Bacterial contamination
: fever, chills, urticaria– Slow transfusion, diphenhydramine , antipyretic for fever
• Hemolytic– Immediate: ABO incompatibility (1/ 12-33,000) with fatality (1/
500-800,000)
Majority are group O patients receiving type A, B or AB blood
Complement activation, RBC lysis, free Hb (+ direct Coombs Ab test)
Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction
Ab (in recipient serum) + Ag (on RBC donor)
-Neuroendocrine responses
-Complement Activation
-Coagulation Activation
- Cytokines Effects
Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction
Pathophysiology
Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions
Acute onset within minutes or 1-2 hours
after transfuse incompatible blood
Most common cause is ABO-incompatible
transfusion
Signs and Symptoms of AHTR
• Chills , fever• Facial flushing• Hypotension• Renal failure• DIC• Chest pain• Dyspnea• Generalized bleeding
• Hemoglobinemia• Hemoglobinuria• Shock• Nausea• Vomitting• Back pain• Pain along infusion
vein
@WBC’s!@WBC’s!• Europe: All products leukodepleted• USA: Initial FDA recommendation now reversed pending
objective data (NOT length of stay for expense)
• Febrile reactions– Recipient Ab reacts with donor Ag,
stimulates pyrogens (1-2 % transfusions) – 20 - 30% of platelet transfusions– Slow transfusion, antipyretic, meperidine for
shivering
• TRALI (Transfusion related acute lung injury)
– Donor Ab reacts with recipient Ag (1/ 10,000) – noncardiogenic pulmonary edema– Supportive therapy
Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)
Pathophysiology: Leukocyte Ab in donor react with pt. leukocytes
Activate complements
Adherence of granulocytes to pulmonary endothelium with release of proteolytic enz.&
toxic O2 metabolites
Endothelial damage
Interstitial edema and fluid in alveoli
Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)
Acute and severe type of transfusion reaction
Symptoms and signs:• Fever• Hypotension• Tachypnea• Dyspnea• Diffuse pulmonary infiltration on X-rays• Clinical of noncardiogenic pumonary edema
Transfusion-related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI)
Therapy and Prevention:• Adequate respiratory and hemodynamic
supportive treatment• If TRALI is caused by pt. Ab use LPB• If TRALI is caused by donor Ab no special
blood components
• Transfusion-associated Graft-versus-Host Disease ( TA-GVHD)
– Rare: immunocompromised patients – Suggestion that more common with
designated donors– BMT, LBW neonates, Hodgkin's disease,
exchange Tx in neonates
Transfusion-associated Graft-versus-Host
Disease ( TA-GVHD) Pathophysiology
Infusion of Immunocompetent Cells
(Lymphocyte)
Patient at risk
proliferation of donor T lymphocytes
attack against patient tissue
Graft-versus-Host Reaction
Signs & Symptoms
Onset ~ 3 to 30 days after transfusion Clinical significant – pancytopenia Other effects include fever, liver enzyme,
copious watery diarrhea,
erythematous skin erythroderma
and desquamation
@Platelets!@Platelets!
Alloimmunization– 50 % of repeated platelet transfusions– Ab-dependent elimination of platelets with lack of response– Use single donor apheresis – Signs & Symptoms
• mild slight fever and Hb• severe platelet refractoriness with bleeding
Post-transfusion purpura– Recipient Ab leads to sudden destruction of platelets
1-2 weeks after transfusion (sudden onset)– Rare complication
METABOLIC COMPLICATIONS
Citrate toxicity• Citrate (3G/ unit WB) binds Ca2+ / Mg+
• Metabolized liver, mobilization bone stores• Hypocalcemia ONLY if > 1 unit/ 5 min or
hepatic dysfunction• Hypotension more likely due to cardiac
output/ perfusion than calcium (except neonates)
• Worse with hypothermia/ hepatic dysfunction
Hyperkalemia
• After 3 weeks, K+ is 25- 30 mmol/l • Only 8- 15 mmol per unit PRBC/ WB• Concern with > 1 unit/5 min @ infants
Acidosis
• Acid load after after 3 weeks 30-40 mmol/l (pH 6.6 - 6.9)
• Metabolic acidosis more likely due to decreased perfusion, hepatic impairment, hypothermia
• NaHCO3 or THAM if base deficit > 7-10 mEq/l
