Transfusion Risk Ratios[1]
| Rate | Complication |
| 1:10 | Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction per pool of 5 donor units of platelets (1 pack) |
| 1:100 | Minor allergic reactions (urticaria) |
| 1:300 | Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction per unit of RBC (1 pack) |
| 1:700 | Transfusion-associated circulatory overload per transfusion episode |
| 1:5,000 | Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) |
| 1:7,000 | Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction |
| 1:10,000 | Symptomatic bacterial sepsis per pool of 5 donor units of platelets |
| 1:40,000 | Death from bacterial sepsis per pool of 5 donor units of platelets |
| 1:40,000 | ABO-incompatible transfusion per RBC transfusion episode |
| 1:40,000 | Serious allergic reaction per unit of component |
| 1:82,000 | Transmission of hepatitis B virus per unit of component |
| 1:100,000 | Symptomatic bacterial sepsis per unit of RBC |
| 1:500,000 | Death from bacterial sepsis per unit of RBC |
| 1:1,000,000 | Transmission of West Nile Virus |
| 1:3,000,000 | Transmission of HTLV per unit of component |
| 1:3,100,000 | Transmission of hepatitis C virus per unit of component |
| 1:4,700,000 | Transmission of HIV per unit of component |
Leukocyte Irradiated/Depleted RBCs[2]
- Gamma or X-radiated blood components to prevent Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease for at risk patients
- If tranfusion required for crashing patient, do not delay tranfusion of uncrossed blood to irradiate products beforehand
- Requires minimum 25 Gy irradiation, not to exceed 50 Gy for all:
- Packed red cells
- Platelets
- Granulocyte components, regardless of immunocompetency
- First or second degree relatives, regardless of immunocompetency
- HLA-selected components, regardless of immunocompetency
- Irradiated products should be administered shortly after irradiation
- Those products not used for intended recipient may be returned safely to stock for others not requiring irradiated components, though with reduced shelf life
- Not necessary to irradiate FFP, cryoprecipitate, fractioned plasma products
Generally Accepted Indications For Irradiated Blood Products[3][4]
- Immunocompromised stem cell recipients
- Organ transplant recipients
- Patients undergoing marrow transplantation
- Intrauterine transfusion
- Neonatal exchange transfusions
- Premature and low birthweight neonates
- Hodgkin lymphoma
- Congenital cell-mediated immunodeficiencies (DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich, Leiner's, 5'-nucelotidase deficiency)
- Acquired immunodeficiencies to include:
- Leukemia, CLL
- Aplastic anemia
- Neutropenia
- Patients receiving:
- Purine analogue chemotherapies (fludarabine, cladribine, deoxycoformicin, bendamustine, clofarabine, etc.)
- Certain biologic immunosuppresants (alemtuzumab)
- Donations from biologic relatives
- Donations from HLA-matched donors
- Genetically homogenous populations
- Probably indicated int:
- Hematologic malignancies other than Hodgkin lymphoma
- Solid tumors treated with cytotoxic agents
Indications For Leukoreduced Blood Products[5]
- Chronically transfused
- Cardiac surgery
- Solid organ or stem cell transplant recipients, before and after
- Previous febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions
- CMV seronegative patients at risk
Not Routinely Needing Irradiated Products
- HIV, AIDS
- Concurrent, non-severe common viral infection
- Rituximab treatment
- Routine solid organ transplant
- Routine infant cardiac surgery
Blood product unit conversions
- PRBC: 1 bag = 1 unit = 350 mL
- FFP: 1 bag = 1 unit = 250 mL
- Platelets: 1 bag = 1 pack = 5 units = 250 mL
- Cryoprecipitate: 1 bag = 5 units = 200 mL
