IntroductionWhole Blood (WB)
• Collected directly from donors into blood transfusion bag containing anticoagulant
• 500 ml transfusion bag is used (contains 63 ml of anticoagulant + 450 ml blood)
4
Anticoagulants in blood units
1) Acid-Citrate-Dextrose (ACD)
2) Citrate-Phosphate- Dextrose (CPD)
3) Citrate,Phosphate,Dextrose,Adenine
(CPDA-1)
5
Anticoagulants Used for WB?
• ACD & CPD preserve the unit for 21 days at 2-6ºC.
• CPDA-1 (anticoagulant/preservative for 35 days).
• C = Citrate→ to prevent clotting
• P = Phosphate→ to maintain pH
• D = Dextrose→ ATP generation
• A = Adenine-1→ substrate from which RBC produce ATP
Anticoagulant ratio is 1.4 ml:10ml blood (63ml / 450ml)
6
• (SAGM) → Saline-Adenine-Glucose- Manitol• Purpose of additive solution, to improve
RBCs storage viability till 42 days @ 2-6ºC
* Added only to PRBCs
Additive solutions
7
Blood Components
• Human blood consists of plasma, in which cells are suspended
• The plasma also contains other specialised substances, which are important for blood clot formation (e.g. clotting factors)
• Whole blood can be separated at the blood bank into various components
8
BLOOD COMPONENTS
• Blood separated into different parts:
1. Packed red cells2. Platelets3. Fresh frozen plasma4. Cryoprecipitate5. Granulocytes6. Factor IX conc.7. Factor VIII conc.
• There are more than 20 different products available

Blood Components
• Refers to a product separated from a single unit
of whole blood
• The term plasma derivative indicates a blood
product separated from a large volume of pooled
plasma by a process called fractionation
11
Blood Components
• Separating WB into components of
blood is necessary to avoid
wasting of units.
12
Blood Components Separation Goals
• Decrease harmful effects of blood transfusion.
• Giving patients specific component needed.
• Allow a longer survival for components.
• More than one patient will use the unit.
13
Centrifugation Types?
There are two types of centrifugation:-
• Light spin; (2000 rpm at 20ºC for 11 min)
• Heavy spin; (3500 rpm at 20ºC for 11 min)

16
A- Blood components that carry oxygen
• Increase the oxygen carrying capacity of
the blood by increasing the circulating red
blood cell mass.
• Carry oxygen and nourishment to the
tissues and take away carbon dioxide.
17
1 -PRBCsHow to make (PRBCs)?
RBCs have higher specific gravity than plasma, it moves to lower portion of the bag by centrifugation
WB (Light spin) Two products:
1) PRBCs
2) Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

1- Red blood cell concentrates
• Prepared by removing approx. 200 ml of plasma from whole blood after centrifugation
• RBCs plus 100 ml of residual plasma
• In CPD-A can be stored for 35 days at 4oC
21

Hematocrit 40 % 70 %
22
1- Red blood cell concentrates
• High hematocrit → viscous → infuse slowly
• Rate of infusion increased by adding saline
• Other fluids should not used– Calcium containing fluids (eg. Ringer’s lactate)
should not be added– May cause clotting
– Glucose solutions – can cause clumping
• Only saline can be added to blood
23
Expiration date!
– Once the PRBC unit is “opened” it has a 24 hour expiration date!
24 hours
24
2- Leukocyte poor blood
• No viable leukocytes• WBCs are of no
consequence • In some patients cause
febrile transfusion reaction• Should receive leukocytes
poor-blood• WBCs can be removed by
discarding the buffy coat (inverted centrifugation)
• Or by washing RBCs or by using filters

Leukocyte Reduction Filters
(maintains closed system)
Final unit must have less than 5 x 106 WBCs
26
3- Frozen-thawed red cells
• Red cells can be frozen with use of cryo-preservation techniques
• Permit storage for up to 10 years
• Expensive procedure & recommended only in special circumstances– e.g. Individuals with rare blood types– For auto-transfusion
27
3- Frozen-thawed red cells
• The RBC's are first incubated in a 40% glycerol solution which acts as an "antifreeze" within the cells.
• The units are then placed in special sterile containers in a deep freezer at less than -60 degrees C.
• Cryopreserved units are thawed and washed free of glycerol prior to use as saline suspended RBC's.
28
3- Frozen-thawed red cells
• Deglycerolized RBCs– RBCs that have had the
glycerin removed– Thawed at 37°C– A blood cell processor
washes the cells with varying concentrations of saline
– Considered “open”, expires in 24 hrs.
29
4- Washed RBCs
• Washed RBCs
– Not effective in reducing WBCs
– For patients (with anti-IgA) that may react with
plasma proteins containing IgA
– Reactions may be allergic, febrile, or
anaphylactic
30
5- Irradiated RBCs
• Irradiated RBCs– Prevents T-cell proliferation that may cause
transfusion-associated graft versus host disease (GVHD)
– GVHD is fatal in 90% of those affected– Used for:
• Donor units from a blood relative• HLA-matched donor unit• Intrauterine transfusion• Immunodeficiency• Premature newborns• Chemotherapy and irradiation• Patients who received marrow or stem cells
31
6- Synthetic oxygen carrying agents
• Synthetic oxygen carrying agents– Perfluorochemical (e.g. Fluosol-DA )
• Fluorinated hydrocarbons• Readily dissolve oxygen• Poor soluble in plasma• Side effects:
– Hypotension– DIC
– Chemically modified hemoglobin• Free Hb has a very short half life• Chemically modified to:
– increase intravascular survival – and to make it more effective in carrying oxygen
32
B- Platelets
• Important in maintaining hemostasis
• Help stop bleeding and form a platelet plug (primary hemostasis)
• People who need platelets:– Cancer patients– Bone marrow recipients– Postoperative bleeding
33
How platelets are processed
• REMEMBER!!!• Requires 2 spins:
– Soft – separates RBCs and WBCs from plasma and platelets
– Heavy• platelets in platelet rich plasma (PRP) will
be forced to the bottom of a satellite bag• 40-60 mL of plasma is expelled into
another satellite bag, while the remaining bag contains platelet concentrate

B- Platelet Products
• Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)– Gentle centrifugation of whole blood– Supernatant transferred to the 2nd
bag• Platelet Concentrates
– Prepared from PRP by a 2nd centrifugation
– Removal of all but 50 ml of plasma– Contain approx. 6X1010 platelets– 60 – 80% Plts present in whole
blood unit– Remain 5 days– Longer at 22oC with continuous
agitation

Plasma Derivatives
56
Plasma Derivatives• Certain plasma derivatives can be
obtained by fractionating the fresh frozen plasma or stored plasma
• Fractionation: Allows the processing of large volumes of
pooled plasma Pooling of many units increases the risk of
viral transmission to the recipient
57
Plasma protein fractionation
• Plasma proteins are separated according to differences of each protein.
• Fractionation involves changing the conditions of the pooled plasma (e.g. the temperature or the acidity)
• Proteins that are normally dissolved in the plasma fluid become insoluble, forming large clumps, called precipitate.
• The insoluble protein can be collected by centrifugation.
58
Plasma protein fractionation
• One of the very effective ways for carrying out this process is the addition of alcohol to the plasma pool while simultaneously cooling the pool.
• This process is sometimes called cold alcohol fractionation or ethanol fractionation.
• This procedure is carried out in a series of steps so that a single pool of plasma yields several different protein products, such as albumin and immune globulin.
