Pediatric autologous peripheral blood stem cell collection without heparin using a highly concentrated sodium citrate anticoagulant: A retrospective comparison with standard ACD‐A

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 677-688, April 2026.
Abstract Background Heparin combined with sodium citrate has been used in leukocytapheresis for pediatric patients. Since 2022, we have performed leukocytapheresis using a highly concentrated sodium citrate solution (HSC, 5.32%) instead of acid citrate dextrose solution A (ACD‐A).

Comparative assessment of single-donor plateletpheresis by Haemonetics® MCS® plus and Trima Accel®

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2020
Background: Single-donor platelets (SDPs) prepared by sophisticated automated equipment offer several advantages over random-donor platelets and are being increasingly used to support thrombocytopenic patients. Different apheresis machines working on the

Analysis between Platelet Count and Blood Groups in Apheresis Platelet Donors with Demographic Features [PDF]

, 2019
Platelet transfusion is used to prevent bleeding in patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction. Purpose of investigating demographic characteristics of eligible volunteers as platelet donors and of demonstrating the association of platelet ...

Building evidence for transfusion practice: A pilot study on bacterial adhesion and growth in red blood cell infusion sets

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 689-699, April 2026.
Abstract Background Blood administration sets are changed after a prescribed time interval with variations in guidelines. In Canada, sets are changed every 4 h based on the theory of potential bacterial attachment. This study aimed to investigate whether bacteria adhere to the inner surfaces of blood administration sets during mimicked transfusions of ...

Hematological cellular alterations in plateletpheresis donors [PDF]

International Journal of Blood Transfusion and Immunohematology, 2018
Aims: Blood contact with foreign surfaces in the apheresis systems may activate many cell types that return back to the donor. However, the safety issue regarding post-procedure platelet activation is not well assessed. We aimed to evaluate the alterations in hematological parameters and to explore the formation of platelets leukocytes aggregates (PLAs)

Improved platelet recovery in cryopreserved platelets reconstituted in freeze‐dried plasma

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 803-813, April 2026.
Abstract Background Cryopreserved platelets can support availability in settings where fresh platelets are inaccessible. Freeze‐dried plasma (FDP) may serve as an alternative reconstitution medium to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) when plasma thawing is impractical. The effects of FDP on cryopreserved platelet quality remain underexplored. Thus, we aimed to

Analysis of plateletpheresis donor deferral patterns over two years at a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh

IMC Journal of Medical Science
Background and objective: Plateletpheresis involves the separation of platelets from healthy donor blood, with the remaining components returned to the donor’s circulation.

Does plateletpheresis induce a hypercoagulable state? A global assessment of donor’s hemostatic system by ROTEM

Platelets, 2019
Since there is still debate on the effects of plateletpheresis on coagulation system, we aimed to perform a global assessment of donor’s hemostatic function undergoing plateletpheresis by rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis and to clarify if ...

Can platelet yield be predicted before the donation in plateletpheresis? A study on the impact of donors’ and procedural parameters on platelet yield [PDF]

Journal of Medical and Life Science
Background: Platelet transfusion plays a critical role in thrombocytopenic patients. Platelet concentrate was prepared by using apheresis technique (SDP), and its efficacy as platelet yield was correlated with donors’ demographic variables.Objectives: To

Motivations to donate blood and plasma: A scoping review of quantitative studies

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 853-870, April 2026.
Abstract Introduction Effective recruitment and retention of donors are essential for the supply of blood components and blood‐derived medicines. In many high‐income Western countries, there is an imbalance between demand and production of blood‐derived medicines.
