Volunteer apheresis collection, including platelets, is rising. Donor qualifications and adverse effects are manageable, but recruiting donors remains a key challenge for blood collection centers.

Area of Science:

  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Volunteer apheresis has advanced from single-component to multicomponent procedures.
  • Blood collection and utilization are increasing, with apheresis procedures rising significantly.
  • Single-donor platelet transfusions now surpass random-donor platelet concentrates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current state of volunteer donor apheresis.
  • To highlight donor qualifications, adverse effects, and recruitment challenges.
  • To emphasize the need for effective donor recruitment strategies in multicomponent apheresis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of apheresis procedures and blood collection trends.
  • Analysis of donor qualifications and adverse event data.
  • Discussion of volunteer donor recruitment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Apheresis technology has advanced to multicomponent collections (red blood cells, platelets, plasma).
  • Apheresis procedures and single-donor platelet transfusions are increasing.
  • Donor recruitment is identified as a primary challenge for apheresis programs.

Conclusions:

  • Multicomponent apheresis is becoming standard practice.
  • Managing donor qualifications and adverse effects is crucial.
  • Optimizing volunteer donor recruitment is essential for successful apheresis programs.
