An Audit of Single Donor Platelet Apheresis: A Three Years’ Experience at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Abstract: Single Donor Platelet Apheresis (SDP) involves collection of whole blood in anticoagulant solution, separation of whole blood into components, collection of platelets in a separate bag and transfusing the remaining constituents back to the donor. One SDP unit is equal to 4-6 Random Donor Platelet (RDP) units. Audit of single donor platelet pheresis (SDP) was done to assess the utilisation of SDP, demographic profile of the donors, discarding details of the SDP units. This study of SDP audit was conducted retrospectively for periods of three years in the Department of Transfusion Medicine and Immunohematology in a Tertiary care Hospital, Hyderabad, India. Data was obtained from the records maintained in the department and was analyzed. Total blood units collected during January 2014 to December 2016 was 52,702. Total number of SDP procedures performed was 325. All the SDP donors were males and replacement donors only. About 88.31 % of donors fall in the age range of 18-35 years. Platelet count of the donors ranged from 1.9 to 4.3 lakhs/uL and about 97.55 % of the donors were having platelet count between 2.0 -4.0 lakhs/uL. Maximum SDP units were utilized by Medical Oncology Department (75.69 %) followed by the Department of General Medicine. Six SDP units were discarded due to expiry.Voluntary donors need to be encouraged in view of increasing demand for SDP. In view of early (5 days) expiry of SDP units and high cost, correct assessment of its transfusion requirement will prevent the wastage of the unit.
