Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome: Two new cases expanding the demographic and geographic spectrum, and evidence of a diagnostic gap in allergic transfusion reaction evaluation

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transfusion‐related alpha‐gal syndrome (TRAGS) has recently been proposed as a cause of allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs) in which alpha‐gal‐specific IgE in sensitized group O (or potentially group A) recipients reacts with epitopes on group B or AB plasma‐containing components.

ABO blood type concordance‐dependent variations in umbilical cord blood: Insights from twin pregnancies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is a rich source of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells for regenerative medicine. This study characterized the cellular composition of UCB from twin pregnancies to identify blood type concordance (BTC)‐related differences.

From battlefield to community: Simulation‐based education for walking blood bank whole blood transfusion

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Field transfusion of whole blood is vital for patients in hemorrhagic shock, particularly in austere or resource‐limited environments. Military use of warm fresh whole blood (WFWB) has inspired civilian interest in walking blood banks (WBBs) for rural, prehospital, and mass casualty settings where blood product access is limited ...

Genetic diversity in RHD and RHCE genes among a selected Kenyan blood donor population

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Serologic typing for ABO and RhD is standard in transfusion services, with extended serology and genotyping performed to reduce red cell alloimmunization risk. In Kenya, RH typing is limited to RhD, and genotyping is unavailable. This study used RHD/RHCE genotyping to predict phenotypes and their distribution in a Kenyan blood donor

Routine transfusion of Rh(D)‐positive RBCs to Rh(D)‐negative patients designated as do not resuscitate conserves Rh(D)‐negative red blood cell inventory

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A minority of blood donors are Rh(D)‐negative, and Rh(D)‐negative red blood cell (RBC) products are often overutilized. As such, Rh(D)‐negative RBCs may be difficult to maintain in blood bank inventory. Study Design and Methods We changed our blood bank laboratory policy to approve non‐alloimmunized Rh(D)‐negative patients to ...

Low titer group O whole blood inventory conservation: The effect of implementing group A whole blood at a simulated civilian trauma center

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Substituting group A whole blood (GAWB) might relieve some of the burden on the low titer group O whole blood (LTOWB) inventory. This simulation examined the effect of implementing GAWB at a large trauma hospital. Study Design and Methods A civilian trauma center with LTOWB and GAWB par levels set to 22 and 10 units, respectively ...

Cord blood red cell concentrates for preterm neonate transfusion: Insights from the multicenter BORN trial

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The BORN trial suggested that using cord blood‐red blood cells (CB‐RBCs) to transfuse severely preterm neonates significantly improves clinical outcomes compared to standard adult donor RBCs (A‐RBC). Study Design and Methods The study illustrates CB‐RBC concentrate production and inventory management across nine CB banks ...

Clinical application of a modified platelet desialylation test for mechanistic characterization of platelet transfusion refractoriness

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a major challenge in transfusion medicine and may result from both immune and non‐immune mechanisms. Although alloantibodies are well‐established contributors, Fc‐independent pathways such as platelet desialylation have emerged as alternative mechanisms of clearance.
