Distribution of Mega-Platelet Units (Platelet Apheresis) During Four Years at Blood Bank and Transfusion Center LUMHS Hyderabad

Abstract

The transfusion of constituents drawn from human blood strengthens up-to date medicine. But, transfusion is not devoid of hazards. Platelet transfusions are rising more speedily than the transfusion of other parts. Single-donor apheresis clusters are spent favorably commonly known as single donor platelet procedure; blood is obtained from a donor in anticoagulant solution. Benefit of solo provider platelets upon shared donor platelets are of decreased hazard of bacterial infection. To determine the distribution of platelet concentrates from healthy donors to various

units of LUH Hyderabad. This cross sectional and descriptive study was done at Blood bank and transfusion center, Diagnostic and research (D&R) Laboratory LUMHS Hyderabad from March 2012 to February 2016. Platelet apheresis was processed in 691 healthy males; age between 21 to 45 years. Apheresis was done by cell separators (Fresenius Hemo Care GmbH, Germany and Trima accel United States). And were distributed in different units of Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad, i.e. Oncology 176(25.47%), Medicine 169 (24.45%), Surgery 126 (18.23%), Gynecology and Obstetrics 115 (16.64%), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) 61 (8.82%), Casualty 44 (6.36%). Reviewing of blood component’s demand is an effective workout to decrease the figure of inapplicable transfusions, given the

threats of transfusions despite progresses in preparing them harmless.
