▼ In low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) the maintenance of standards relating
to the transport and storage of blood may be more difficult to achieve. Bacteria contamination and
hyperkalemia represent two significant risks. The objectives of this study were to assess the viability
of transfused blood defined by negative blood culture and potassium concentration of less than
42mmol/l.
Samples from 84 units of whole blood and packed cells were collected aseptically and
analyzed to determine the presence of bacteria by culturing and the level of potassium. Method of
storage/transport once the units left the blood bank (cool box or room temperature) was also recorded.
Results. 8 samples (10.5%) showed a positive culture and the organisms isolated included
Pseudomonas fluorescens, Corynabacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus capitis.
Only 12.5% of the culture positive units were stored in cooler boxes compared to 35.5% of the culture
negative units. The mean potassium content was 12.25mmol/l (±7.4SD). None of these were outside
the expected range for stored blood. However, blood stored at room temperature was found to have a
higher potassium concentration than blood stored in a cool box. The median time between blood
leaving the blood bank to the time the transfusion was actually commenced was 6(IQR±6) hours and
a range of 1-14hours.
Under the prevailing circumstances at the University Teaching Hospital, bacterial
contamination remains a significant risk in recipients of whole blood and packed cells. The current
practice, therefore, needs improvement. This study recommends continued medical education in the
transport and storage of blood and blood products.

▼ Multicomponent transfusion, or the transfusion of two or more different blood products, has been poorly studied to date, as most of the existing literature has focused on the use of individual blood products. This is of concern as multicomponent transfusion recipients likely differ with respect to characteristics and health outcomes from patients transfused with only one type of blood component (e.g. greater illness severity). Consequently, available data on individual blood product use and outcomes may not be applicable to multicomponent transfused patients. This thesis project identified and synthesized existing literature on the epidemiology of multicomponent transfusion in hospital inpatients, as well as the characteristics and outcomes of its recipients. Based on 37 observational studies, we found that the prevalence of multicomponent transfusion varied greatly by patient population, transfusion timeframe, and type of multicomponent transfusion being studied. The most common types of multicomponent transfusion across the 37 studies were co-transfusions of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets, and co-transfusions of RBCs and plasma. Multicomponent transfusion was found to be associated with several negative health outcomes, however this was based on low quality evidence due to lack of control for confounding by indication. Our systematic review on multicomponent transfusion identified several knowledge gaps, including the need for studies focusing on patients with hematological malignancies, and studies identifying patient characteristics predictive of multicomponent transfusion. To address areas of knowledge deficiency, and to characterize multicomponent transfusion locally at our own center, we designed and conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult, transfused hospital inpatients. Based on 55,719 transfused inpatient admissions at the Ottawa Hospital between 2007 and 2017, we calculated the overall prevalence of multicomponent transfusion to be 25.1% (95% CI: 24.7%, 25.5%). Similar to the findings of our systematic review, the prevalence varied greatly by patient type, transfusion timeframe, and type of multicomponent transfusion. In particular, in hematology patients, the prevalence of multicomponent transfusion was 51%. Other patient groups frequently receiving multicomponent transfusions at our institution were cardiac surgery, critical care, cardiology, vascular surgery, trauma, surgery, and internal medicine patients. Using multivariable regression analysis, we found that patient sex, age, and type were predictive of multicomponent transfusion requirement. Additionally, controlling for illness severity and burden, multicomponent transfusion was associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality, institutional discharge compared to discharge home, and greater length of hospital stay compared to patients transfused with only RBCs. Given our findings that multicomponent transfusion recipients make up a large proportion of transfused hospital patients, and that they have poorer outcomes, it is of…

▼ My thesis is focused on using new and existing molecular technologies to survey immune system (i.e. HLA, KIR and MICA), blood group and HPA genes in Polynesian and Maori subjects. I have compiled large datasets for these individuals including first ever molecular typing blood group, HPA and MICA. I have also compared my data with those from previous genetic studies of KIR and HLA for the four Polynesian sub-populations and HLA for Maori. Combined with previous information in a small scale meta-analysis, the results presented here were interpreted for the first time in the light of new theories about the hybrid origin of Proto-Polynesians via gender-biased gene flow between Austronesian-speaking Mongoloids and Papuan-speaking Australoids. Phylogenetic and principal component/coordinate analyses show that Polynesian sub-populations are closer to each other and are end populations of the great Austronesian Diaspora. Estimation based on HLA class I and II allele frequencies show a wide range (55:45 to 90:10) of ASM:P-SA ancestral fractions in Maori and other Polynesians. The same phenomenon was observed for blood group, HPA and KIR data. Thus, findings from the present study generally support the account deduced from Y-chromosome, mtDNA and genome wide SNP data, and are in accord with the emergent picture from linguistics and archaeology studies.
The data collected bear more or less directly on questions of health including tissue matching for
transfusion and transplant surgery, disease resistance and the relative incidence of autoimmune disease in these ethnic groups. Tissue matching of HLA, MICA, KIR, blood group and HPA is a fundamental element in
transfusion and transplant surgery and it is vital that these technologies take accurate account of the ethnic origins of both donors and recipients. This is important due to significant differences between Polynesians and people of European origin, who form the majority segment of the modern day multi-ethnic country of New Zealand. The prevalence of HLA, MICA, KIR, blood group and HPA and their potential influence on the health of modern day Maori and Polynesians were also discussed.
This study was intentionally designed to validate new molecular blood group and HPA typing methods in Polynesian and Maori populations. Scores for the other loci are based on the application of pre-existing technologies. Validation using three different blood group and HPA genotyping methods (i.e. PCR-SSP, SBT and SNP assay) gave 100% concordance and thus reflects the accuracy of the new DNA-based methods. Overall, molecular genotyping does seem to offer the opportunity to improve the efficiency of high quality
transfusion services, but should include all known variants that are associated with serological expression.
In conclusion, the present molecular genetics study has successfully compiled new HLA, MICA, blood groups, HPA and KIR datasets for Polynesians and Maori, used the datasets for dual analyses of ancestry and health, and demonstrated the reliability of current genotyping…

▼ To determine the incidence, common indications,appropriateness and outcome of blood transfusions and blood products among adult in-patients admitted to the University
teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia.
Prospective observational study over a period of 90 days.The university Teaching Hospital and the Zambia National Blood Transfusion Services.Indications for blood transfusion, number of units prescribed and given, the age and sex of the transfusion
recipients.All adult patients who received blood transfusion during the period of the study. Data collected by research
assistant.Of the 378 requests for blood transfusion we followed up 149 such patients. These received at total of 271 units of blood. 75[27.6%] of the units were given to medical patients, 87[32.17o] to surgical patients and 113[41.3%] to patients from the department of obstetrics and Gynaecology. Females got twice as much blood as males, 67.3% compared to the male with only 32.7%. Most of the blood transfusions were given to patients between the ages of 23 and 42, receiving a total of 74%
of the units of blood. 63% of these are less than 30 years of age. The most common indication for blood transfusion was
indicated only as anemia. Up to 98% of patient receiving blood transfusion did not have hemoglobin done prior to transfusion.
In the university teaching hospital of Lusaka,Zambia, more blood is used mainly in the department of obstetric and gynecology. It can also be concluded that demand for blood products is higher younger patients. It was observed that the use of blood and blood products is inappropriate in most
cases as blood was given based on the clinical presence of pallor as a measure of anaemia.it is recommended that blood prescribers acquaint themselves with existing guidelines to avoid
indiscriminate use of blood products. Careful evaluation of the risks and potential benefits of transfusion is required. All anemia, except in cases where it is life threatening, should be
investigated adequately. Blood transfusion is no substitute for finding the cause of anaemia.

▼ The Watchtower sect, just like other universal religions, makes a strong claim on its members that they refuse blood transfusion as a fundamental part of their belief that God views blood as representing life. Thus it is important to note that commitment to religious beliefs will sometimes inevitably come into conflict with the role of the State, say to provide security and welfare to its members especially vulnerable ones like children. The lives of many Witnesses in Zambia may be at risk due to their unwillingness to undergo blood transfusion on religious grounds. This state of affairs places the Zambian Government in a dilemma as it has a constitutional duty to both respect people‟s religious rights and protect people‟s right to life. The aim of this research is to ethically assess the relationship between the Church and the State on blood transfusion among the Jehovah‟s Witnesses of Mpika and Lusaka districts. The objectives of the study were : (i) to investigate the nature of the doctrinal position of the Jehovah‟s Witnesses in Mpika and Lusaka on the rejection of blood transfusion; (ii) to explore the extent to which Jehovah‟s Witnesses of Mpika and Lusaka share in the doctrinal position on the rejection of blood transfusion; (iii) to ascertain the awareness of Jehovah‟s Witnesses of Mpika and Lusaka about the benefits and burdens of rejecting blood transfusion in Zambia; and, (iv) to examine the position of the State on the rejection of blood transfusion by Jehovah‟s Witnesses. A total of 30 persons were interviewed. This number was sufficient for the study as it was supplemented by two focus group discussions among medical students at UNZA Ridgeway Campus and seven focus group discussions among Jehovah‟s Witnesses at all Kingdom Halls under study.
The significance of the study highlights the ethical challenge that the Watchtower doctrine on blood transfusion presents to the relationship between the Church and the State. The research design was a case study. The study used a qualitative approach which involved an ethical assessment. The methods employed were in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.
The ethical framework of the study used to collect relevant data and inform the ethical assessment of the study included Rights theory and different ethical principles which comprised the principle of beneficence, the principle of nonmaleficence, the principle of autonomy and the principle of paternalism.
The study made the following recommendations: (i) the autonomy of a competent patient should be respected by medical practitioners if they refuse blood transfusion on religious grounds; (ii) the State should ensure that alternatives to blood transfusion are made available in hospitals and clinics so that patients have options to choose from ; (iii) the State should provide medical institutions with well trained personnel that minimize the possibility of blood loss; (iv) Medical practitioners should maintain frequent and close surveillance for signs and symptoms of postpartum to facilitate early…

▼ Thalassaemia is the name of a group of genetic,
inherited blood disorder passed down through families in which the
body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin. The disorder results in
excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia. It
is not infectious and cannot be passed on from one individual to
the other by personal or any other contact, or through blood
transfusion, food or air. Thalassaemia is a major health problem,
placing an immeasurable emotional, psychological and economic
burden on millions of people around the world. Recent data indicate
that about 7% of the world s population is a carrier of a
hemoglobin disorder and that 300,000-500,000 children are born each
year with the severe homozygous states of these diseases. There are
two types of thalassemia, namely thalassemia major and thalassemia
minor, when defective genes are inherited from either of the
parents it is called as minor. When defective genes are inherited
from both the parents, it is called thalassemia major. Transfusion
is the mainstay of the care of individuals with thalassemia major.
The purpose of transfusion is twofold; to improve the anemia and to
suppress the ineffective erythropoiesis. Chronic transfusions
prevent most of the serious growth, skeletal, and neurological
complications of thalassemia major. However, once started, the
transfusion-related complications become a major source of
morbidity. Standards must be developed and maintained to ensure a
safe and rational approach to the use of blood transfusions in the
management of these rare disorders. Present work determined the
frequency and the prevalence of the thalassemia of the study group,
the geographical distribution, clinical findings and hematologic
parameters analyses. The data were introduced into electronic
system and were statistically analyzed. The current study aims to
survey the effect of blood transfusion transmitted Malaria and
other diseases in thalassemia patient from Solapur District (M.S.)
India.

▼ M.Cur.
Awareness of the growing list of potential and inherent risks and hazards associated with receiving donor blood has created a mushrooming interest in alternatives to blood transfusion. Despite the fact that there are programmes, protocols and guidelines in place in the private health sector, blood conservation has not got off the ground. Therefore the aim of this study was to explore and describe the perceptions of health-care professionals regarding blood conservation in the private health sector. An exploratory descriptive contextual design was employed. Data was collected through the use of semi-structured focus group and individual interviews. Conceptualisation as well as data from the interviews served as the basis for the formulation of guidelines for health-care professionals to improve blood conservation. The results of this research show that the interaction among health-care professionals are negatively influenced by the lack of communication, feedback, support and uncertainty, a lack of trust, education, planning, implementation, involvement, commitment and co-ordination. Therefore the outcome of blood conservation cannot be achieved. Effective communication, education and participatory management have to improve in order for these negative factors to be overcome. It is recommended that these guidelines be implemented to improve blood conservation in the private health sector. Conclusions, limitations and further recommendations were made based on the results of this study.

utilisation libérale de plaquettes (ratio élevé plaquettes:culots
globulaires) en comparaison à une utilisation traditionnelle
(faible ratio plaquettes:culots globulaires) dans la réanimation
initiale des polytraumatisés. Parmi 6123 références identifiées,
nous avons sélectionné 7 études observationnelles comparatives
incluant au total 4230 patients. Quatre études ont rapporté une
diminution de la mortalité avec des ratios plaquettes:culots
globulaires élevés chez des patients transfusés massivement. Une
étude sur des patients sans hémorragie massive et une étude sur un
nouveau protocole de transfusion massive n’ont rapporté aucune
différence. L’hétérogénéité clinique et les failles méthodologiques
des études n’ont pas permis d’effectuer une méta-analyse. Les
données probantes actuelles sont insuffisantes pour appuyer
l’utilisation d’un ratio plaquettes:culots globulaires spécifique
dans la réanimation des polytraumatisés, surtout en considérant le
biais de survie et les hémorragies non massives. Des essais
cliniques randomisés évaluant la sécurité et l’efficacité d’un
ratio élevé plaquettes:culots globulaires sont nécessaires avant de
recommander leur utilisation.
This systematic review examines the impact of a
liberal use of platelet transfusions (higher platelets:red blood
cells ratio) compared to a traditional use (low platelets: red
blood cells ratio) for the acute resuscitation of trauma patients.
Seven observational comparative studies including 4230 patients
were selected among 6123 titles identified. Four studies reported
decreased mortality with higher PLT:RBC ratios among massively
transfused patients. One study on non-massively transfused patients
and one evaluating a new massive transfusion protocol did not
report a survival benefit. Clinical heterogeneity and
methodological flaws of the included studies precluded performing a
meta-analysis. There is insufficient evidence to strongly support
the liberal use of high PLT:RBC ratio for acute trauma
resuscitation. Randomized controlled trials examining both the
safety and efficacy of the liberal use of platelet transfusions
with adjustment for other co-interventions are warranted before
high PLT:RBC ratios can be broadly recommended.

▼ Les plaquettes, fragments de cellules, sont très
abondantes dans le sang où elles favorisent l'hémostase. Activées,
elles forment des microparticules (MPs) et libèrent des
mitochondries libres ou encapsulées. Comme la membrane
mitochondriale est un substrat de la phospholipase A2 sécrétée qui
libère des signaux inflammatoires, nos résultats permettent
d'identifier les mitochondries extracellulaires au centre d'un
mécanisme inflammatoire puissant qui fournit une explication
possible de l'augmentation des niveaux sanguins d'ADNmt rapporté
dans de multiples pathologies telles que les réactions
transfusionnelles où l’ADNmt est présent à des niveaux plus élevés
dans les PCs. Ici, nous avons étudié les MPs et les mitochondries
extracellulaires dans différents types de PCs Les concentrations
des MPs et des mitochondries extracellulaires étaient
significativement plus élevées dans le PRP que les autres PC et
sont stables dans l’entreposage. Le mode de préparation, plutôt que
de la durée d’entreposage a un impact sur leur libération dans les
PCs.
Platelets, anucleate cell fragments that contain
mitochondria, are highly abundant in blood where they promote
hemostasis. Activated platelets shed microparticles (MPs) and
release respiratory-competent mitochondria, both within
membrane-encapsulated microparticles and as free organelles. As the
mitochondrion is an endogenous substrate of secreted phospholipase
A2 IIA (sPLA2-IIA), which yields inflammatory mediators, our
findings identify extracellular mitochondria at the midpoint of a
potent mechanism leading to inflammatory responses. This mechanism
provides a potential explanation for the increased levels of
extracellular mtDNA reported in blood in multiple pathologies, such
as adverse transfusion reactions where mtDNA is present at higher
levels in PCs. Herein, we aimed to quantify MPs and extracellular
mitochondria in different types of PCs through storage.
Concentrations of MPs and extracellular mitochondria were
significantly higher in PRP than other PCs and were stable over
storage. The mode of preparation, rather than storage duration,
impacts release of MPs and mitochondria in PCs.

▼ BACKGROUND: Plasma exchange (PE) is the first-line treatment for primary acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) with severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13:AC). Some patients are poor responders to PE, raising concern over multiple pathogenetic pathways. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Based on 52 aTTP patients in our national cohort study, we monitored plasma levels of ADAMTS13, clinical and laboratory findings, and outcomes. In a representative poor responder to PE, we examined an ADAMTS13 inhibitor (ADAMTS13:INH) complex in plasma milieu, by means of a large-pore isoelectric focusing (IEF) analysis. RESULTS: Of 52 aTTP patients, 20 were good responders and 32 were poor responders. In the latter group, plasma ADAMTS13:AC levels never increased to more than 10% of normal during 14 days after PE initiation. Mean (±SD) plasma ADAMTS13:INH titers (Bethesda unit/mL) were 5.7 (±4.5) before PE, but decreased to 1.4 (±0.8) on the fourth PE day and then remarkably increased to 14.8 (±10.0) on the 10th PE day, termed "inhibitor boosting," and then slowly decreased to undetectable level over 1 month. On admission, none of the routinely available clinical and laboratory markers differentiated these two groups. However, elevated pre-PE levels of ADAMTS13:INH were correlated with a poor response. We visualized an ADAMTS13:INH (immunoglobulin G) complex in a patient plasma by an IEF analysis and found proteolytic fragment of ADAMTS13 antigen by a two-dimensional IEF and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. CONCLUSION: Findings from this cohort of aTTP patients demonstrated that inhibitor boosting often occurs in aTTP patients in Japan. Poor responders could be predicted by elevated pre-PE ADAMTS13:INH levels on admission, but not by routinely collected clinical or laboratory data.

▼ Liver resection, or hepatectomy, is a major abdominal surgery performed most often for the removal of malignant tumors of the liver, either primary or metastatic. It is often
associated with significant blood loss and therefore, with blood transfusions. While
transfusions are common, there is incomplete knowledge of their effects on clinical
outcomes. Furthermore, both current practices and best practices in perioperative blood management, including blood product administration, are not well defined. This
manuscript-based thesis will examine the clinical impact, current practices, and appropriate use of perioperative red blood cell transfusions for patients undergoing liver resection.

▼ Approximately thirty million blood components are administered in the United States each year, most of which are given during the perioperative period. For years blood transfusions have been accepted as a standard of care in a variety of clinical scenarios, even with lacking evidence for improved outcomes. Despite a long history of blood transfusion, protocols still lack agreement on when to transfuse. Transfusion recommendations exist, but there still remains no universal accepted blood transfusion threshold. Blood transfusion carries with it numerous risks. However, with sophisticated infectious disease blood screening, the risk of infectious disease from blood transfusion has significantly decreased over the last decade. Non-infectious complications are now the leading complication of blood transfusions. The most common causes of transfusion related deaths are transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), hemolytic transfusion reactions, and transfusion related sepsis. This thesis reviewed the literature that examined the pathophysiology of TRALI and its causes. TRALI is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, characterized by respiratory distress, developing during or within six hours of a blood transfusion TRALI is usually associated with antibodies and biologically active lipids in the donor's blood. Clinical and laboratory researchers agree that the two pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for TRALI are antibody-mediated and antibody-independent. Mere transfusion of blood products does not cause TRALI but instead occurs in patients with activated neutrophils or activated pulmonary endothelium. Accumulation of neutrophils in the recipient's lungs occurs with release of neutrophil granule contents, resulting in injury to cellular membranes, endothelial surfaces, and potentially to lung parenchyma. Knowledge of the normal physiology of the alveolar-pulmonary capillary interface, comprehension of the pathophysiology of the disease process, screening for risk factors, making the appropriate diagnosis, followed by prompt treatment can lead to one less fatality due to blood transfusion. Anesthesia providers are responsible for a thorough preoperative review and patient assessment to identify risk factors for organ ischemia and coagulopathy. The risks and benefits of blood transfusion should be discussed with each patient. Intraoperative management includes close monitoring of vital signs, fluid and blood management, and monitoring for adverse reactions should a blood transfusion be given.

▼ textabstractAfter the introduction of blood component therapy in the 1960s, more and more attention is given to clinical
transfusion medicine. Although blood
transfusion is an important
treatment in different clinical settings, there are still lack of much randomized clinical
trials. Nowadays blood
transfusion can be called a safe treatment. This might be due to
an increasing awareness of the effects and risks of blood
transfusion. In clinical
transfusion practice a
transfusion trigger is handled for the prescription of blood
transfusion.
This
transfusion trigger is based on hemoglobin (Hb) levels for red blood cell (RBC)
transfusion and on platelet count for platelet transfusions. Possibilities to improve the
safety of blood
transfusion are improvement of the blood components and reduction of
the amount of blood transfusions.
This thesis describes 1) an in vitro study of a new pathogen technique for platelet concentrates and 2) a new model for RBC
transfusion therapy for acute anemia. This model uses
subjective health related quality of life criteria, which are validated in this thesis.

▼ Blood donation is an important public health
issue globally and locally. Recruitment and retention of blood
donors are the biggest challenge for blood donation. The purpose of
this systematic review is to identify the motivators and deterrents
for blood donation. PubMed, Medline and China Journal Net were
searched using (blood donation OR blood donor) AND (motivation OR
deterrent) and inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. Nine
studies on motivators or deterrents for blood donation were
retrieved. Taking into account the situation in Hong Kong and
findings gathered from this systematic review, policy suggestions
are made. Limitations of this systematic review are also discussed.
This systematic review suggests that more Asian studies should be
conducted to inform the culturally pertinent measures in Hong
Kong.

▼ Introduction: Blood products are precious
resources and blood transfusion carries risks. Patient blood
management is currently advocated to enhance clinical outcomes.
Evolving evidence and guidelines suggest restrictive blood
transfusion. Significant variations in transfusion practice among
clinical services were observed, which could be due to
non-adherence to guidelines and imprecise evidence on the optimal
transfusion strategy. The transfusion practice in medical patients
of a regional hospital and how it affected clinical and
patient-reported outcomes were studied.
Method: A single centre
prospective study in the medical department of a regional hospital
was performed to evaluate the transfusion practice, including the
transfusion trigger and number of red blood cell (RBC) units per
transfusion. Clinical parameters were assessed before and after
blood transfusion. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL)
instruments were administered on transfusion day (Day 0), one (Day
1) and seven days (Day 7) after transfusion respectively.
Single-unit and double-unit transfusion were compared by subsequent
need of transfusion during Day 1 to Day 7, overall blood use in one
week and the change in HRQOL. Factors potentially influenced
transfusion decision and clinical outcomes were explored. Then,
regression analysis was performed to study the relationship between
different factors and the change in HRQOL. In order to understand
the belief in blood transfusion, a survey of physicians was
simultaneously conducted. Physicians were asked to indicate the
transfusion trigger and number of RBC units in the three
hypothetical scenarios. Conditions that may alter the transfusion
trigger were also identified.
Results: 101 medical patients were
recruited for analysis. The median transfusion trigger was 7.2
[6.5-7.8] g/dL. Two or more units of RBC were transfused in 47% of
episodes. Comparing with guidelines, 40% of the transfusion
episodes in hospitalised patients were deviated from the
recommendations. Overall blood use in one week was 0.7 units less
with single-unit transfusion (p < 0.001). The change in HRQOL
did not show significant difference between single- or double-unit
groups. Lower transfusion trigger was the only significant
predictor of double-unit transfusion. Regression analysis showed
that day care was associated with greater improvement in HRQOL on
Day 1 but the effect disappeared on Day 7. The improvement in HRQOL
was greater in those had worse scores on Day 0. Transfusion
trigger, Charlson’s comorbidity index and number of RBC units
transfused in past 7 days were not associated with the change in
HRQOL.
In the survey of physicians, 60 completed questionnaires
were received. More clinicians preferred a higher transfusion
trigger and double-unit transfusion in the acute upper
gastrointestinal bleeding and pneumonia scenarios than in the
terminal cancer patient with pre-existing anaemia. Physicians
transfused more liberally in elderly patients, and when there was
concomitant ischaemic heart disease or acute coronary…

▼ There is controversy regarding the effect of blood product transfusion on patients undergoing liver transplantation. De Boer et al. suggested an association between platelet transfusion and increased mortality in liver transplantation. This thesis evaluates the consequences of blood transfusion during the intraoperative and postoperative period in liver transplant recipients. A retrospective multivariate analysis of data involving 434 liver transplant recipients at our institution from 2002 to 2011 was conducted. The primary outcomes were patient and graft survival rates at 1 and 5 years following liver transplantation. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) / dialysis and postoperative infection and the duration of endotracheal intubation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay and hospital stay. Transfusion of ≥5 units of pooled platelets was associated with decreased 5- year patient mortality and 5-year graft failure. Platelet transfusion was also associated with an increased incidence of postoperative AKI, infective complications, and duration of endotracheal intubation. Packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBC) was not associated with increased mortality or graft failure. PRBC transfusion was associated with an increased incidence of AKI. Fresh frozen plasma transfusion was associated with increased 5-year patient mortality, duration of endotracheal intubation and duration of hospital stay. The transfusion of cryoprecipitate was not associated with increased mortality or graft failure following liver transplantation but was associated with an increased ICU stay when ≥20 units were administered. This thesis demonstrated that the transfusion of platelets was associated with decreased long-term patient mortality and graft failure following liver transplantation. This contrasts to previous studies which linked blood product transfusion to increased patient mortality and graft failure.

▼ By far the greatest risk to patients is human error; receiving the wrong blood component or one that is not compatible. A fatality subsequent to a blood transfusion is a devastation one cannot quantify. Blood transfusions are a routinely performed life saving intervention in the inpatient acute care hospital setting. Although blood transfusions can be extremely beneficial when delivered correctly, the risks associated with receiving incorrect blood components are severe and potentially fatal. The blood component administration process in the inpatient acute care hospital setting is dependent upon the systematic function of both communication and interaction technology. Therefore, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Idealized Design of Clinical Practice (IDCOP) program (IDCOP), Interaction, provided the clinical framework for this project. A mixed closed, thirty-four bed critical care unit, was utilized for this project, which presented many opportunities to evaluate and trial the blood component administration process. Lewin’s change theory, unfreeze, move, and refreeze provided the methodology for this project. We determined, enhanced communication was needed and implemented a checklist to be dispensed along with the blood component to assist healthcare workers in completing all steps in the process. Real time audits were conducted of dispensing, administering, and monitoring of blood components after administration, yielding quantitative data for further analysis. Multiple PDSA’s were conducted each time the checklist was revised and implemented.
A transfusion navigator was put into the electronic charting system to assist healthcare workers with the steps associated with blood component administration. To aid in sustainability a teach-back process to confirm competency was implemented for nurses to be initiated in the event of fallouts or errors improve knowledge retention and improve outcomes. The interventions put in place during this project were both effective and sustainable as the goal to reduce blood component administration errors by 50% by the end of the first quarter of 2016 was attained and the new process has been included in new policies.

▼ Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions continue to result in adverse inflammatory responses and increased rates of morbidity despite modifications in processing such as leukodepletion. It remains unknown if this is due to adverse physiological responses, inflammatory processes related to
transfusion related immunomodulation (TRIM) or both. Washing of PRBCs may reduce the immunomodulatory potential and
transfusion related adverse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate whether
transfusion with washed leukodepleted PRBCs in the preterm newborn reduces post-
transfusion inflammatory cytokine responses compared to
transfusion with unwashed leukodepleted PRBCs, improving physiological stability.
Extremely preterm newborns (n=154) were randomised to
transfusion with unwashed or washed leukodepleted PRBCs, determined by the restrictive threshold of the PINT
transfusion study, until primary hospital discharge (77 per arm). Plasma cytokines, markers of endothelial activation and measures of cardiorespiratory stability where measured pre- and post-
transfusion.
Transfusion with washed PRBCs resulted in decreases in pro-inflammatory cytokines while unwashed PRBCs resulted in increases in IL-17A and TNF. By the 3rd
transfusion this response to unwashed PRBCs was associated with increases in MIF and PAI-1, markers of endothelial activation, an effect not seen with washed PRBCs. This response was influenced by donor sex with exposure to PRBCs from a female donor resulting in increases in pro-inflammatory cytokines, an effect ameliorated by PRBC washing. Changes over time and in response to the type of packed red blood cells transfused were seen with a greater reduction in cardiac output and increase in systemic vascular resistance and mean airway pressure seen in those infants transfused with washed PRBCs. However, none of these alterations met the current accepted definitions for either
transfusion-associated circulatory overload or
transfusion-associated lung injury. The current study suggests that the association between
transfusion and poor outcome have a predominantly immunomodulatory basis, a relationship that may be altered by the use of washed packed red blood cells for the extremely preterm infant. The apparent lack of significant changes in cardio-respiratory responses to a
transfusion may reflect the need for specific diagnostic criteria for
transfusion related complication in the preterm newborn. The current results provide strong mechanistic data supporting a potentially beneficial effect of
transfusion of washed packed red blood cells in this high-risk population. The next critical step is investigating whether the use of washed packed red blood cells is associated with a significant reduction in clinical outcomes, a finding which would have wide ranging implications for both
transfusion medicine and the field of neonatology.

▼ Transfusion of blood is one of the oldest and most widely used clinical interventions. In 2020 the World Health Organisation reported that globally 118.5 million blood donations had been collected worldwide. This blood will be used to provide life-saving transfusion support for millions of individuals with a wide range of medical conditions. To ensure the safety of each blood transfusion it is common policy to identify and ensure compatibility between the ABO and RhD antigens of both donor and recipient. Although this policy prevents the majority of adverse haemolytic transfusion reaction’s (HTR), approximately 3% of recipients become sensitised following an immune reaction to a non-self blood group antigen after a single transfusion episode. This proportion can rise dramatically in patients requiring frequent transfusion support, with immunisation rates as high as 60% being reported for some haemoglobinopathy patients. Sensitisation to non-self red blood cell (RBC) antigens confers a lifetime risk of HTRs, which from 2013 through 2017 were responsible for 17% (32 of 185) and 6% (7 of 110) of transfusion-related deaths reported to the US Food and Drug Administration and Serious Hazards of Transfusion UK, respectively. Furthermore, sensitisation can render transfusion-dependent patients non-transfusable and cause haemolytic disease in pregnancy which is potentially life-threatening to the fetus. A more precise blood matching policy will reduce sensitisation rates, however, adoption of this is resisted because of perceived logistical challenges, donor typing costs, and the lack of evidence from large scale clinical trials that reducing sensitisation rates results in health gains. Antibody-based haemagglutination tests are the current gold standard for RBC antigen typing; however, reliable reagents and high-throughput techniques are not available for all clinically relevant antigens. DNA-based tests have been used to overcome these limitations, and a range of in-house and commercial assays have been developed for donor genotyping. However, due to the limited number of antigens typed for and the low throughput capacity of these assays, they have not been widely applied to blood donor typing. Advances in the technologies used for genome-wide genotyping and sequencing have substantially reduced the cost of generating genetic variation data at population scale. Multiple studies have demonstrated that it is possible to extract antigen typing information from the data produced by these technologies, indicating that they could be used to deliver genomics-based precision transfusion medicine to the patient bedside. However, the same studies also highlight a series of challenges that would have to be overcome before these technologies could be safely integrated into the clinical laboratory. In this thesis, I will present the work that has been done to overcome some of the issues surrounding the interpretation of blood cell antigen typing from genomic data and the development of a universal donor genotyping platform which can be…

▼ La transfusion sanguine permet de sauver des vies et réduit la morbidité pour un grand nombre de maladies et d'affections cliniques, mais elle n'est pas exempte de complications. Un incident néfaste lié à une transfusion, également appelé Effet Indésirable Receveur (EIR), est un incident défavorable survenant chez un patient pendant ou après une transfusion sanguine. Parmi eux, le TRALI est considéré comme l’une des réactions inflammatoires les plus critiques. Cette pathologie se développe généralement dans les 6 heures après transfusion. On en reconnaît deux types, les TRALI immunologiques et les TRALI non-immunologiques. En France, les premiers sont presque entièrement prévenus par une politique de sécurité des produits sanguins, tandis que la fréquence des seconds augmente. La physiopathologie du TRALI reste mal connue. Tandis que certains y accordent une place importante aux plaquettes sanguines du patient transfusé, d’autres les considèrent comme pas réellement impliquées. Le but de ce travail de thèse a été, dans un premier temps, d’investiguer le potentiel inflammatoire des plaquettes sanguines conservées dans les concentrés plaquettaires et l’influence de cette inflammation sur l’endothélium vasculaire général. Ensuite, sera évalué le rôle des plaquettes sanguines de l’organisme, notamment par l’intermédiaire de leurs produits de sécrétion, dans la pathogénie de cette complication transfusionnelle. Pour cela, un ALI (mimant un TRALI) a été déclenché, dans un modèle in vivo, par une injection d’anticorps anti-CMH I chez des souris préalablement stimulées avec du LPS. L’ensemble de nos résultats confirme le potentiel inflammatoire des plaquettes sanguines, au sein des concentrés plaquettaires, pouvant probablement assumer l’entière responsabilité du déclenchement d’un TRALI non-immunologique, ainsi qu’un rôle secondaire des plaquettes sanguines de l’organisme, participant activement à l’amplification de la sévérité de la pathologie. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans la continuité logique des études menées, au sein du laboratoire GIMAP-EA3064, investiguant la place des plaquettes sanguines au sein de l’inflammation, ouvrant ainsi de nouvelles perspectives dans la sécurité transfusionnelle.
Blood transfusion saves lives and reduces morbidity for many diseases and clinical conditions, but it is not without complications. A transfusion-related adverse event, also known as the Adverse Reaction (AR), is an incident occurring in a patient during or after a blood transfusion. Among them, TRALI is considered as one of the most critical inflammatory reactions. This pathology usually occurs within 6 hours after transfusion. Two types are recognized: immune TRALI and non-immune TRALI. In France, the first is almost completely prevented by a blood product safety policy, while the frequency of the second increases. The pathophysiology of TRALI remains poorly understood. While some scientists give an important function of patient blood platelets, others consider them dispensable. The aim of this thesis was, first, to investigate…

▼ La transfusion sanguine est un traitement essentiel à la survie de millions de patients. Son principal risque immunologique est l’allo-immunisation post-transfusionnelle. Elle se traduit par la production d’allo-anticorps contre des antigènes de globules rouges (GR) conduisant à des hémolyses post-transfusionnelles. Les mécanismes à l’origine de la tolérance des GR ou de son inhibition lors de l’allo-immunisation sont mal connus. Ainsi, mes travaux de thèse, portant sur la compréhension de ces effets, se sont articulés en trois parties avec 1/ l’étude des conditions optimales aux réponses allo-immunes, 2/ l’étude des effets d’une stratégie thérapeutique utilisant un anticorps monoclonal et 3/ l’étude des effets immunomodulateurs, incluant la tolérance, médiée par des composants présents dans les concentrés de globules rouges (CGR).Afin d’étudier l’allo-immunisation, nous avons utilisé le modèle murin. Nous montrons qu’une variation du délai entre la transfusion et la stimulation du TLR3 impacte la réponse immune dans la rate. Une activation importante des lymphocytes T CD4+ (LT CD4+) allo-réactifs accompagnée d’une production accrue d’allo-anticorps ont été montrées à 7 jours de délai. Afin de limiter l’allo-immunisation, l’utilisation d’un anticorps anti-CD20 déplétant les lymphocytes B (LB) montre une altération des LB mais surtout des LT CD4+ impliqués dans le processus d’induction de l’allo-immunisation. Enfin, la modification du phénotype des cellules dendritiques CD11c+ de la rate des souris transfusées, observée hors contexte inflammatoire, suggère une maturation incomplète à l’origine d’une tolérance antigénique. Pour finir, l’analyse de différents composants présents dans les CGR confirme l’existence de microparticules (MPs) lymphocytaires. Ces MPs présentent des molécules inhibitrices et pourraient donc être impliquées dans la tolérance des antigènes transfusés.En conclusion, mes travaux montrent la coopération des DCs avec les LT CD4+ permettant celle des LT CD4+ avec les LB pour induire une réponse immune. Comme toute réponse humorale, nous confirmons que l’allo-immunisation fait intervenir des DCs, des LT CD4+ et des LB. Ces résultats ouvrent de nouvelles voies de recherche pour mieux caractériser l’allo-immunisation en particulier chez les patients drépanocytaires qui sont les plus touchés.
Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is a life-saving treatment for millions of patients. However, its main immunological risk is RBC alloimmunization resulting in antibody production against RBC antigen. Alloimmunization can lead to severe complications threatening the life of the patient. The mechanisms explaining RBC alloimmunization are poorly understood. Therefore, my doctoral work aiming at understanding transfusion effects, was subdivided into three parts with 1/ the study of optimal conditions for alloimmune responses, 2/ the impact of a therapeutic strategy using a monoclonal antibody to inhibit alloimmunization and 3/ the study of immunomodulatory effects of transfusion, including tolerance, through…

▼ Abstract
Excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery is a serious complication that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The bleeding is multifactorial and influenced by both surgical factors and impaired haemostasis. It is important to identify patients with increased risk of bleeding before the operation so countermeasures can be initiated. A large proportion of cardiac surgical patients receive blood transfusions during and after surgery. Transfusion therapy can save lives, but is also associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality, so unnecessary transfusions should be avoided. There is little knowledge about when and on what indication
blood transfusions are administered, and how well treating physicians follow current guidelines.
Aims: One aim was to examine the relationship between preoperative levels of fibrinogen and other coagulation factors, and their relationship to postoperative bleeding and blood transfusion. Another was to assess the effects of a structured blood conservation programme, with the objective of reducing the administration of blood transfusions in cardiac surgical patients. A third aim was to study the prevalence, volumes and indications for red blood cell transfusions in cardiac surgery
patients. The final aim was to examine adherence to institutional transfusion guidelines.
Materials and methods: The first study (Paper I) involved 170 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Data on each patient´s preoperative fibrinogen plasma concentration and other haemostatic tests, and postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements, were collected. In Paper II, the study concerned 57 CABG patients. Plasma activity of coagulation factors involved in plasma coagulation was measured before and after surgery and related to haemodilution and
postoperative blood loss. In Paper III, the study involved all 2162 patients who underwent cardiac surgery at our institution during a 24-month period. Transfusion
requirements and transfusion-associated costs before and after introduction of a blood conservation programme were compared. In the study described in Paper IV, timing and indications for red blood cell transfusion in 1034 cardiac surgery patients were investigated and the adherence to institutional guidelines was assessed.
Results: Paper I demonstrated that preoperative plasma levels of fibrinogen correlates significantly to postoperative blood loss. Preoperative fibrinogen level was also an independent predictor of red blood cell transfusion, together with female gender and long operation time. Paper II demonstrated a marked disparity of clotting factor activity after cardiac surgery. Only plasma concentration of fibrinogen and coagulation factor XIII activity correlated to postoperative bleeding. Paper III showed that the introduction of a simple structured multifactorial blood conservation programme significantly reduces blood transfusions to cardiac surgery patients, and reduces transfusion-associated costs without compromising medical safety.

▼ Introdução: As transfusões de sangue e as Reações transfusionais (RT) têm tido grande destaque nas discussões e estudos da hemoterapia atual, devido a necessidade e relevância para a prática transfusional e na busca em qualificar as transfusões e refinar a classificação das RT. As reações transfusionais febris não hemolíticas (RTFNH) apresentam um crescente no número de notificações e despertam a necessidade de mais estudos. Durante a estocagem dos hemocomponentes, ocorrem uma série de alterações morfológicas, aumento de potássio (K+) extracelular, hemólise e aumento de hemoglobina (Hb) sobrenadante. Analisar a qualidade e viabilidade do hemocomponente pode nos levar a verificar os fatores preditores de uma RT, procurando minimizar os riscos e selecionar um hemocomponente de melhor qualidade ao paciente. Objetivos: Avaliar potenciais fatores etiológicos na precipitação das RTFNH por meio da mensuração na concentração de sódio (Na+) e K+ no
sobrenadante, a contagem leucocitária por mcL, o cultural e o Hematócrito (Ht) e Hb da bolsa de concentrado de hemácias (CH) envolvidas, comparando estes parâmetros em relação a um grupo controle de bolsas de CH. Analisar e comparar o perfil dos pacientes envolvidos com a RTFNH e do grupo controle e, estimar a frequência de culturais coletados positivos e os germes envolvidos. Metodologia: Estudo de caso-controle com seleção de amostras a partir de notificações de suspeita de RTFNH ao Serviço de Hemoterapia de um Hospital Universitário de Porto Alegre - RS, no período de setembro de 2015 a setembro de 2016. O grupo controle foi selecionado a partir da mesma população de bolsas, sendo pareadas por tipagem sanguínea e data de vencimento do hemocomponente, numa proporção de 1:2,1. Resultados: o total incluído foi de 124 bolsas, sendo 39(30,5%) do grupo RT e 85(69,5%) do grupo controle, onde uma série de variáveis foram avaliadas. A média de dias de estocagem das bolsas foi de
10,7(DP=6,7) dias, sendo que no grupo RT 12,1(DP=8,1), foi significativamente maior que no grupo controle 10(DP=5,8) com (P=0,037). Também quando avaliamos as dosagens de Ht as médias verificadas foram de 68,3(DP=7,27), sendo no grupo RT 71(DP=81) e 67(DP=6,5) no grupo controle e, na comparação dos grupos, observamos um P<0,001. Dessa forma, a cada dia a mais de estocagem e, a cada ponto a mais no HT da bolsa, há um aumento na chance de aparecimento de RTFNH. Conclusões: a lesão de estocagem é uma temática importante no momento da oferta de hemocomponentes ao paciente, principalmente aos pacientes em tratamento oncológico de tumores sólidos. A avaliação do HT e do tempo de estocagem da bolsa demonstraram ter relevância estatística e clínica na predição de aparecimento de RTFNH. O manejo de estoque adequado para poder haver essa oferta se faz necessário. Novos estudos serão necessários para verificarmos os mecanismos desencadeantes da RTFNH comparado com o Ht da bolsa e,
também estudos relacionados à utilização de pré medicação nas transfusões.

▼ Blood
transfusion forms a mainstay of the treatment
of a variety of illnesses, and is lifesaving. Nonetheless, it is
not without its risks and drawbacks. Blood
transfusion is a
cornerstone in the treatment of canine babesiosis. The development
of blood alternatives has received attention in recent times. Blood
alternatives offer much of what natural blood does but without many
of the associated drawbacks. These include disease transmission,
transfusion reactions, poor in vitro and in vivo shelf-life and
special storage and administration requirements. One product,
Oxyglobin®, is the first commercially available,
veterinary-licensed, haemoglobin-based oxygen carrying solution
(HBOCS). Although licenced for use in canine babesiosis, this
colloidal “Oxygen Bridge” has never been evaluated against the gold
standard of therapy, isovolumic packed red blood cell
transfusion
(pRBCT). This investigation was conducted to evaluate important
aspects the equivalence of these two treatments in a field
situation of naturally-infected dogs. Given the cost of HBOCS, they
are unlikely to be commonly used by the practicing veterinarian in
the treatment of canine babesiosis. Nonetheless, similarities in
efficacy would bolster the case for and further research into blood
substitutes of this and other classes, and may open the way to
evaluation of HBOCS for falciparum malarial anaemia, a disease
similar in many respects to canine babesiosis.

▼ Previous international studies have documented a marked variation in
transfusion practice for Total Hip Replacement (THR) surgery. This is despite widespread dissemination of clinical guidelines for the use of blood products. The cost and potential wastage of blood products as well as concerns regarding patient care and outcomes are important drivers of optimal blood management.
The aim of this study was to audit red cell product utilisation for THR surgeries at two tertiary referral hospitals.

▼ The transfusion of Red Blood Cells (RBC) is often one of the therapeutical tools in advanced support in newborn intensive care units (NICU); the number of transfusions required depends on factors such as pregnancy duration and weight at birth. However, great variations are observed when comparing children in similar clinical conditions in different centers, as there are no controlled studies with established indications for newborn transfusion. Thus, the goal of the present study is to compare and describe the use of RBC transfusion through the qualitative and quantitative analysis of questionnaires in 42 services of NICUs in Brazil, focusing on its indications, repercussions and techniques; evaluating the presence and the adequacy of the protocols established from a scientific, descriptive, observational and longitudinal study. From this analysis, a more uniform protocol for the transfusion of RBC in Brazilian newborns is suggested. From the 42 hospital units studied, 20 are university hospitals, of which 17 are public institutions and 03 are private institutions. With respect to the service type, 26 units belong to SUS, 09 have private or insurance service and 07 work with both services (public and private). Furthermore, the institutions represent 4 regions of the country: 11 in the Northeast, 21 in the Southeast, 03 in Center-west and 07 in the South of Brazil; representing 670 NICU beds and 450 intermediate unit beds. The data collected was submitted to statistical analysis calculating the absolute and cumulative frequencies as well as the relative frequencies of each question of the applied questionnaires. No significant differences with respect to the use, preparation and indications were found when we analyzed private and educational institutions. However, the North and Northeast regions and the institutions geographically distant from the capitals, public services unrelated to universities have difficulty to access the hospital information, implementation and use of specific technologies. In the majority of the services, there is no interaction between the blood transfusion services and the NICUs; resulting in a difficult task for the professionals providing direct assistance. There are a large number of services that consider clinical parameters associated to the hemoglobin level (Hb) while others consider parameters associated to hematocrit (Hct) levels as a reference for the indication of transfusion of RBC. In conclusion, the decision of performing a transfusion in a patient must always be made by the leading doctor taking technical, medical, ethical and legal parameters into account, based on the use of protocols with more precise transfusion indications, adapted to the resources of each institution, in order to protect the patients from the risk of badly indicated transfusions

▼ An association between compatible but ABO non-identical red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and increased in-hospital mortality was identified in an observational study. A review of the literature was performed to explore plausible biological mechanisms and inflammation was chosen. This thesis describes a body of work that was performed to develop a PICOT research question and design a pilot feasibility randomized crossover trial in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to determine whether there is evidence of an inflammatory response resulting from transfusion of ABO non-identical RBCs compared with the transfusion of ABO identical RBCs. The work undertaken as part of this thesis included: identifying a theoretical framework to guide the selection of outcome measures that would detect inflammation; identifying an appropriate and feasible population to study; designing the feasibility pilot study to answer the research question that was developed; and a discussion of ethical issues that were considered as the design of the pilot study was developed. The work that was done to develop the elements of PICOT resulted in the following research question: Is it feasible to perform a randomized crossover trial in chronically transfused blood group A patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), that looks for laboratory evidence of inflammation (in vitro biomarkers measured at baseline and pre-specified times between 1 and 96 hours post transfusion), following the transfusion of group O RBCs (ABO non-identical) compared to transfusion of group A (ABO identical) RBCs?

▼ Massive blood loss due to trauma requires faster recognition and treatment using established protocols to prevent death. Currently, adult guidelines are used for pediatric patients. This is not an optimal approach due to differences in blood volume, physiology, and body weight between adults and children. The lack of consistency in the indicators used in hospital massive
transfusion protocols must be addressed in order to improve treatment for critically injured pediatric trauma patients.
Cases of critical pediatric trauma patients (17 years and younger) from 2011 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed from Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center. Patients given blood products within 24 hours of injury were evaluated. Descriptive profiles were constructed through bivariate and means analysis that generated descriptive statistics for patient population explanation. Spearman correlations, Mann-Whitney tests, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were conducted to determine associations between demographic and clinical indicators and patient mean arterial pressures.
Of the 397 cases, critical pediatric trauma patients who received blood products in the prehospital or in-hospital environment were more likely to have been intubated (odds ratio = 1.61; 95% confidence interval: 1.04, 2.51); more likely to have lower mean arterial pressures (mean arterial pressure ≤ 59: odds ratio = 4.04; 95% confidence interval: 1.95, 8.37); more likely to have lower systolic blood pressures (systolic blood pressure ≤ 89: odds ratio = 3.69; 95% confidence interval: 2.02, 6.76); and more likely to have lower heart rates (heart rate ≤ 59: odds ratio = 5.12; 95% confidence interval: 1.67, 15.70) compared to patients not given blood products. Critical pediatric trauma patients who received prehospital blood products came
directly from emergency scenes, were preteenagers, were more frequently intubated, and had lower heights, weights, mean arterial pressures, systolic blood pressures, and heart rates than critical pediatric trauma patients who received blood products in-hospital. Critical pediatric trauma patient mean arterial pressures showed a moderate overall correlation with age, weight, and height.
Profiled critical pediatric trauma patients show that mean arterial pressure, intubation, heart rate, height, weight, systolic blood pressure, and lack of severe head injury are associated with blood
transfusion and prehospital blood
transfusion. More research is needed to determine more appropriate factors associated with critical pediatric trauma patient massive
transfusion protocol and prehospital treatment.

▼ Cryoprecipitate is commonly used outside guidelines. In trauma, the appropriate cryoprecipitate dose and its impact on plasma fibrinogen levels are unclear.
This retrospective study aims to evaluate: (1) the appropriateness of cryoprecipitate transfusion in trauma; and (2) the plasma fibrinogen response to cryoprecipitate transfusion during massive transfusion in trauma.
Fibrinogen levels of < 1.0 g/L within 2 and 6 hours of cryoprecipitate transfusion were used for assessing appropriateness. Out of 394 events, 238 (60%) and 259 (66%) were considered appropriate using 2 and 6 hour criteria, respectively. A dose of 8.7 (±1.7) units caused a mean increase in fibrinogen levels of 0.55 (±0.24) g/L, or 0.06g/L per unit.
In our hospital, where transfusion guidelines and policies for rapid blood product and laboratory turnaround times exist, it is possible to achieve high rates of appropriateness for cryoprecipitate transfusion in trauma. The current recommended dose causes a modest increase in fibrinogen levels.

▼ Polymerized hemoglobin (poly-Hb) molecules have been shown to have reduced toxicity compared to cell-free hemoglobins when transfused intravenously. Poly-Hbs are typically generated with non-specific crosslinking agents that yield a product that is polydisperse in molecular weight. We propose a chemoenzymatic approach to generate poly-Hb of defined molecular weight. The proposed method employs the site-specific ligation reaction of the sortase A enzyme from
S. aureus. A Hb mutant previously developed in our lab has been “sortagged” – modified by adding either the sortase recognition sequence (LPXTG) to the C-terminus of the α-subunit or a tetraglycine motif (GGGG) to the N-terminus. We show here that Hb subunits can be ligated directly by sortase A, using a mixture of substrate tagged (LPXTG) and nucleophile tagged (poly-G) Hbs. Additionally, using a novel approach for crosslinking Hb subunits using sortase A, we have generated a di-α construct that is functionalized with a strained cycloalkyne through an unnatural C-to-C fusion of sortagged α-subunits using a bifunctional sortase nucleophile peptide. We show that cycloalkyne-modified Hb molecules can be covalently linked to an azide functionalized fluorescein, using the well-established method of Huisgen cycloaddition. The work presented here establishes the feasibility of generating a monodisperse poly-Hb using azide decorated scaffolds.
