Infusible Platelet Membrane versus Conventional Platelet Concentrate: Benefits and Disadvantages
Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with a shelf life limit of 3 to 5 days. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. In this article infusible platelet membrane will be explained as a platelet substitute versus conventional liquid-stor...
متن کاملEvaluations of Detection Methods of Bacterial Contamination in Platelet Components
Platelet components (PCs) have widespread applications in clinical cases. Since PCs store in room temperature (between 20-24°C), they are susceptible to bacterial contamination. There are varied approaches for identifying bacterial contamination in PCs. These methods categorized into two groups: Firstly, culture based methods and secondly, non-culture based methods. Both of them have a coup...
متن کاملExperience with universal bacterial culturing to detect contamination of apheresis platelet units in a hospital transfusion service.
BACKGROUND Bacterial contamination of platelet units poses one of the greatest risks of morbidity and mortality to platelet transfusion recipients. A routine culture of all units (WBC-reduced apheresis platelet units) was instituted on Day 2 over a 2-year period to reduce this risk. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A sterile connecting device was used to attach a small transfer pack on the morning of...
متن کاملConversion from Platelet-Rich Plasma Platelet Production to Buffy Coat Platelet Component Production: Benefits and Limitations
Blood transfusion centers are under considerable pressure to produce platelet concentrates with high quality and safety due to the short shelf life of 3-5 days as well as possible bacterial and viral contaminations. For a variety of reasons, many Europeans have changed their methods of component production from whole blood using the North American standard platelet-rich plasma method to the buf...
متن کاملIn Vitro Evaluation of the Anti-bacterial Effect of Human Platelet Concentrate
Background: Recently the role of platelets in the tissue regeneration, wound healing and prevention and control of infections has been reported. We aimed to assess the antimicrobial effect of human platelet concentrate against six bacteria, commonly found in wound and hospital-acquired infections. Methods: In vitro susceptibility to samples of 10 random human platelet concentrates was determin...
