ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To determine the reference red blood cells with weak agglutination intensity of low positive quality control products by comparing RhD antigen expression intensity difference according to the serological results. 【Methods】 The RhD(+ ) red blood cells were detected by microcolumn gel method with 1 500 times diluted anti-D typing reagent. The samples with weak and strong RhD antigen expression intensity were selected as the reference red blood cells for weak agglutination intensity of low positive quality control products, and verification was performed. 【Results】 Ten RhD(+ ) red blood cells were detected with diluted anti-D typing reagent, of which 8 were 1+ and 2 were ±. Red blood cells with agglutination intensity of 1+ were used as the benchmark to determine the maximum dilution ratio of anti-D typing reagent when their agglutination intensity was 1+. As the preparation standard of low positive quality control products, the agglutination intensity of red blood cells with low RhD antigen expression intensity was extremely weak ±, which was difficult to ensure the stability of its control limit properties. Based on red blood cells with agglutination intensity of ±, the maximum dilution ratio of anti-D typing reagent with agglutination intensity of 1+ was re-determined as the preparation standard of low positive quality control products, and the results met the requirements of quality control product setting. 【Conclusion】 Using red blood cells with low RhD antigen expression intensity as the benchmark to set the weak agglutination intensity of the low positive quality control products can avoid the loss of control due to the low target value.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To detect the piperacillin and amoxicillin antibodies in suspicious blood samples from pre-transfusion compatibility tests in Wuxi and analyze the general characteristics of them, so as to eliminate the interference of drug-induced antibodies with compatibility tests and provide reference for safe and effective blood transfusion, 【Methods】 Drug-sensitized RBCs and low-ion anti-globulin microcolumn gels were used to detect piperacillin and amoxicillin antibodies in 128 plasma samples which were initially undetermined in pre-transfusion compatibility tests. Data were analyzed by Chi-square test or fisher′s exact test. P<0.05 was statistically significant. 【Results】 Among these 128 undetermined samples, including 31 cases of type A, 48 type B, 14 type AB and 35 type O, the overall positive rate of piperacillin and amoxicillin antibodies was 28.9%(37/128), in which the positive rates of piperacillin and amoxicillin antibodies were 20.3%(26/128) and 8.6%(11/128), respectively. The difference between these two drug-induced antibodies was significant(P<0.05). Further analysis showed that the piperacillin antibodies in patients over 50 years old was 25.3%(24/95), while under 50 years old was 6.1%(2/33)(P<0.05). In contrast, the amoxicillin antibodies in patients over 50 years old was 5.3%(5/95), while under 50 years old was 18.2%(6/33), with statistically significant differences between each other(P<0.05). 【Conclusions】 In patients with suspicious antibodies in pre-transfusion detection, except for the allotype antibodies, drug-induced antibodies should be more considered in combination with medication history to better ensure the safety and effectiveness of blood transfusion.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To establish the maximum surgical blood order schedule(MSBOS) for orthopedic surgery, as to guide the clinical blood application and reasonable blood preparation for this type of surgery. 【Methods】 The ordered and actual amount of transfused blood of orthopedic elective operations in our hospital from 2014 to 2018 were collected by the hospital information(HIS) and blood collection information software of Department of Blood Transfusion.The surgeries were classified and indices, including blood transfusion rate and per capita transfused RBC volume, were calculated, then orthopedic MSBOS was established by combining the surgical transfusion rate, per capita red blood cell infusion volume, the algorithm of MSBOS, the risk of massive hemorrhage and the actual situation of our hospital. 【Results】 A total of 3 730 cases of elective orthopedic surgery were included, and the ordered blood volume was 10 183.8 U. 1084 cases received intraoperative blood transfusion, with the total blood transfusion volume of 3 498.8 U and the blood transfusion rate at 29.1%(1 084/3 730). The blood transfusion volume of surgical patients was [1~17.5(3.21±1.89)] U/patient. MSBOS for orthopedic surgeries had been established in our hospital. According to the blood transfusion data of each surgical procedures, surgical blood ordering was divide into 2 categories: Type/Screen, Type/Screen/Crossmatch (2~8 U). 【Conclusion】 The establishment of MSBOS in Department of Blood Transfusion according to the daily blood use in orthopedic surgery is not only beneficial to guide the blood preparation for orthopedics surgery more scientifically and reasonably, but also can optimize the management of blood inventory and provide reference for the establishment of MSBOS in other blood use departments.
