The number of apheresis procedures to treat immune-mediated neurological diseases is on the rise

Apheresis is used for the treatment of many different diseases, especially when conventional therapy lacks efficacy. There are however some diseases in which apheresis is accepted as first line therapy. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the use

Massive transfusion practices and low‐titer group O whole blood utilization before and after implementation in a low‐volume level I trauma center: A six‐year review

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low‐titer O whole blood (LTOWB) has been increasingly incorporated into trauma resuscitation and massive transfusion protocols (MTPs). Recent randomized trials have not demonstrated superiority of prehospital LTOWB over component‐based resuscitation, while the utilization and sustainability of LTOWB programs, particularly in low ...

Evaluation of an ABO antibody immunoadsorption column for reduction of anti‐A and anti‐B isoagglutinin titers in group O platelet units

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Clinical guidelines recommend transfusing ABO‐identical platelets where possible. However, the short shelf life of platelets (5–7 days) and stock availability mean ABO‐nonidentical platelet transfusions are sometimes unavoidable. Minor ABO‐incompatible platelet transfusions carry a risk of hemolysis due to donor anti‐A/B antibodies,

Plasma Exchange for Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome: A Mechanistic Case for an Untested Intervention. [PDF]

J Clin Apher
ABSTRACT Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) carries a case fatality rate of 35%–40% and has no approved pharmacologic treatment. Its pathophysiology is rooted in the plasma compartment: cytokines, viral antigens, immune complexes, and platelet‐binding glycoproteins circulate as drivers of immunopathologic endothelial injury, noncardiogenic pulmonary ...

Prehospital whole blood transfusion versus component therapy—A scoping review

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Whole blood has gained a foothold over component therapy in civilian emergency care, especially in emergency departments. In a prehospital setting, whole blood might be the logistically easier alternative compared to component therapy. However, most previous studies have been conducted in the emergency room setting.

Intraprocedural Hemodynamics During Concomitant Rheocarna Therapy and Maintenance Hemodialysis: Effects of Dialyzer Membrane Type and Circuit Sequence. [PDF]

J Clin Apher
ABSTRACT Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease, is particularly prevalent among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and is associated with poor limb and survival outcomes. Low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis, including Rheocarna, is used as adjunctive therapy for refractory CLTI ...

Stacking platelet bags: A practical storage configuration for maintaining platelet quality during cold storage

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As cold‐stored platelets (CSPs) are being integrated into clinical practice, it is necessary to determine the storage practices that best support platelet quality while remaining operationally feasible. Platelet components are traditionally stored at room temperature, in a single layer, to facilitate gas exchange.

Ultrasound-Guided Peripheral Venous Catheter for Automated Erythrocytapheresis in a Paediatric Population Affected by Sickle Cell Disease. [PDF]

EJHaem
ABSTRACT Introduction Automated erythrocytapheresis (aEEX) is an effective therapy for severe sickle cell disease (SCD). Its use in paediatrics can be limited by challenges in obtaining reliable venous access. Methods We conducted a retrospective, single‐centre study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of ultrasound (US)‐guided peripheral venous ...
