How is blood used?
Nowadays, whole blood is rarely used except in cases of sudden and
severe blood loss. Instead, it is nearly always separated into its individual
components and used for different purposes.
1- Whole Blood:
Contents
RBCs
WBCs
Platelets
Plasma
Clotting factors
Indications
Acute loss of whole blood like in operations and accidents.
In Aplastic anaemia.
Correct anaemia.
Kidney dialysis.

2- Packed red cells
Contents
RBCs
20% Plasma
Indications
Replace O2 carrying capacity with less volume
Severe anemia, slow blood loss, CHF
- Preparation:
Blood should be drawn in double bags.
Usually 225 ml of plasma is removed.
The Hct is about 70-80%.
The blood should be used within the expiration date of the bags.
Packed RBCs are ordinarily the component of choice with which to increaseHb.
Indications depend on the patient. O2-carrying capacity may be adequate with
Hb levels as low as 7 g/L in healthy patients, but transfusion may be indicated
with higher Hb levels in patients with decreased cardiopulmonary reserve or
ongoing bleeding.
One unit of RBCs increases an average adult's Hb by about 1 g/dL and his Hct
by about 3% of the pretransfusion Hct value.
When only volume expansion is required, other fluids can be used
concurrently or separately.

3- Washed red cells
Its convenient but expensive.
Washed RBCs are free of almost all traces of plasma, most WBCs, and
platelets.
They are generally given to patients who have severe reactions to
plasma (eg, severe allergies, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, or IgA
immunization).
In IgA-immunized patients, blood collected from IgA-deficient donors
may be preferable for transfusion.
4- Leukocyte-poor red cells or WBC-depleted RBCs:
o Are prepared with special filters that remove 99.99% of WBCs.
o The majority of febrile non-hemolytic reactions (FNH), can be alienate
by transfusion leukocyte-poor red cells, so they are indicated for patients who
have experienced nonhemolytic febrile transfusion reactions, and possibly for
the prevention of platelet alloimmunization.
o Can be prepared by several techniques:
1. Double centrifuge
2. Heavy spin.
3. Filtration: passing the blood through a nylon filter which is an
efficient method for removal of granulocytes. Heparin is the
anticoagulant used for this procedure. In Europe the used the cotton for
removal lymphocytes and granulocytes.
4. Sedimentation: this method provides 90% of red blood cells and
10% of original no of platelet and leukocyte.
5. Washing: is provides a good recovery of erythrocyte with low no
of WBC and platelet.
6. Frozen deglycerolized red cells: when maximally leukocyte poor
red blood cells needed.

5- Fresh frozen plasma (FFP)
Contents
Clotting factors
Fibrinogen
Prothrombin
Albumin
Globulins
Indications
a. Volume expansion : FFP can supplement RBCs when
whole blood is unavailable for exchange transfusion, but FFP should not be used
simply for volume expansion.
b. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is an unconcentrated source of
all clotting factors deficiency, so indications also include correction of bleeding
secondary to factor deficiencies for which specific factor replacements are
unavailable, multifactor deficiency states (eg, massive transfusion, disseminated
intravascular coagulation [DIC], liver failure)
c. Hypofibrinogenaemia, or afibrinigenaemia.
Preparation:Can be prepared by:
Single heavy spin.
Double centrifugation to prepare platelet conce. At the same time.
Each unit contains about 225 ml of plasma.
Can protect bags within 6h. After collection by placing it in a dry ice-
alcohol path or in freezer at -30c or below.
FFP bags should be frozen in a horizontal position and store at vertical
position.
Shelf life is 12 months when store at -18c or less.

When required FFP can be thawed with agitation in 37c in water path
and used within 2h.
6- Platelet concentrate
Contents
Platelets
WBCs
Plasma
Indications
Low platelet counts (bleeding) . Platelet concentrates are used to prevent
bleeding in:
1. asymptomatic severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 10,000/L)
2. For bleeding patients with less severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count
< 50,000/L)3. For bleeding patients with platelet dysfunction due to antiplatelet drugs
but with normal platelet count
4. For patients receiving massive transfusion that causes dilutional
thrombocytopenia
5. Sometimes before invasive surgery.
6. Acute leukemia
7. Lymphoma.
8. ITP.
9. Bone marrow transplant
Preparation:
Platelet-rich plasma is separated by light spin from erythrocyte.
Platelet conc. is then obtained by a heavy spin of platelet rich
plasma.7

Centrifugation should be done at 22c.
Separation should be done within 4h. After the blood is drawn.
Plasma portion can be frozen as FFP.
Plasma should be frozen within 2h of separation at -30c or less.
When needed, Frozen plasma should then be thawed between 1-6c
over night in a refrigerator or more quickly in a water path at 4c.
One platelet concentrate increases the platelet count by about
10,000/L, and adequate hemostasis is achieved with a platelet count of about
10,000/L in a patient without complicating conditions and about 50,000/L
for those undergoing surgery. Therefore, 4 to 6 random donor platelet
concentrates are commonly used in adults.
Platelet concentrates are increasingly being prepared by automated
devices that harvest the platelets (or other cells) and return unneeded
components (eg, RBCs, plasma) to the donor.
This procedure, calledcytapheresis, provides enough platelets
from a single donation (equivalent to 6 random platelet units) for transfusion
to an adult, which, because it minimizes infectious and immunogenic risks, is
preferred to multiple donor transfusions in certain conditions.
Certain patients may not respond to platelet transfusions, possibly
because of splenic sequestration or platelet consumption due to HLA or
platelet-specific antigen alloimmunization. These patients may respond to
multiple random donor platelets (because of greater likelihood that some units
are HLA compatible), platelets from family members, or ABO- or HLA-
matched platelets.
Alloimmunization may be mitigated by transfusing WBC-depleted
RBCs and WBC-depleted platelet concentrates.

7- Cryoprecipitated anti hemophilic factor ( AHF )
Contents
Factors VIII and XIII, Fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor
(vWF)v. It also contains fibronectin
Indications
Hemophilia A
Fibrinogen deficiency
Factor XIII deficiency
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
Rare factor XIII deficiency.
Von Weill brand's disease.
Preparation:
Cryoprecipitate is a concentrate prepared from FFP, it should be frozen
within 4h and stored at -18c or less.
A bag of cryoprecipitate should be contain on the average about 80-100
units of AHF/unit.
The shelf life is 12 month, when store at -18c or low.
When requested, cryo precipitate may be thawed in a 37c water path and
then should be maintained at room temp. And used as soon as possible or
within 6h after thawing.

8- WBCs:
Granulocytes:
Contents
WBCs
20% Plasma
Indications
Life-threatening decreases in WBC count
Granulocytes may be transfused when sepsis occurs in a patient
with profound persistent neutropenia (WBCs < 500/L) who is
unresponsive to antibiotics.
Important Notes:
- Granulocytes must be given within 24 h of harvest; however, testing for HIV,
hepatitis, human T-cell lymphotropic virus, and syphilis may not be completed
before infusion.
o Because of improved antibiotic therapy and drugs that stimulate granulocyte
production during chemotherapy, granulocytes are seldom used.
9- Immune globulins:
o Rh immune globulin (RhIg), given IM or IV, prevents development of
maternal Rh antibodies that can result from fetomaternal hemorrhage.
o Other immune globulins are available for postexposure prophylaxis for
patients exposed to a number of infectious diseases, including
cytomegalovirus, hepatitis A and B, measles, rabies, respiratory syncytial
virus, rubella, tetanus, smallpox, and varicella.
