Abstract

The filter attachment enables rapid and continuous transfusion of stored erythrocytes and of stored whole blood. This attachment is used both with a microfilter and a largepore transfusion device. The filter attachment enables bloodless preparation of the transfusion. The blood volume previously remaining in the microfilter, can now be transfused completely.

Favism in a female newborn infant whose mother ingested fava beans before delivery.

We describe a case of favism in a female newborn infant with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency whose mother had ingested fava beans 5 days before delivery. At birth there were clinical and hematologic signs of hemolytic anemia, hemoglobinuria, and no blood group immunization. Study of the G6PD activity and 2-deoxy-glucose-6-phosphate utilization rate revealed that the infant and the mother were heterozygous for G6PD deficiency.

Safe and normothermic massive transfusions by modification of an infusion warming and pressure device.

A fluid-warming pressure infusion device (H-500/H25i, Level 1) was modified to meet the demands for safe, normothermic, and effective massive transfusions. By incorporating an autoventing 40 microns filter (Pall AV-SP), which was originally manufactured for use in an extracorporal circulation, the risk of accidental air embolism can be eliminated. Feasibility and efficiency of this model were tested in ten patients. The mean volume transfused and infused (packed red cells and colloids) was 6750 mL (SD +/- 2519) during a mean period of acute volume resuscitation of 55 minutes (SD +/- 30). Calculated flow rates averaged 140 mL/min, which were sufficient to stabilize all but one patient. This patient subsequently died because of uncontrollable surgical bleeding. Body temperature remained stable with a minimal mean drop of -0.3 degrees C. Supplying the Level 1 warming and pressure device with a Pall AV-SP filter allows for safe, effective, and demand-adapted massive transfusions in a large number of trauma patients at a reasonable cost.

Autologous blood transfusion in Auckland.

AIMS: To review autologous blood collection and transfusion practice in Auckland over the last five years. METHOD: Records of autologous blood collections were obtained from blood collection centre records and results of transfusions on patients from hospital notes. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-four units of blood were collected from 77 patients. Seventy-five percent of the units collected were transfused. Most autologous blood was transfused to private hospital patients. Only 8% of patients required homologous blood. CONCLUSIONS: There has been a slow increase of autologous blood collection and transfusion in the Auckland area, as well as in the rest of New Zealand. The present risks of homologous transfusion, particularly since the introduction of hepatitis C testing, appear very low. A further expansion of the present autologous blood programme would entail increased expenditure and it is suggested that a critical cost benefit analysis would be useful before the programme is expanded.
