[Blood transfusion from cadavers].

E Vázquez-Valdés, A Marín-López, C Velasco

    Revista De Investigacion Clinica; Organo Del Hospital De Enfermedades De La Nutricion
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cadaveric blood recovery for transfusion is safe and effective when donors are carefully selected and products are tested for sterility. This practice supports the "total use" of donating bodies in organ transplantation programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Transfusion Medicine
    • Organ Donation
    • Cadaveric Blood Recovery

    Context:

    • Most organ transplant programs rely on cadaveric donation.
    • Blood recovery from deceased donors is not a standard practice, except in limited historical cases.
    • The study explores the feasibility and safety of utilizing blood from deceased donors.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the viability of recovering and transfusing blood from deceased donors.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of using cadaveric blood products.
    • To integrate blood recovery into comprehensive deceased donor utilization protocols.

    Summary:

    • Blood was recovered from 16 deceased donors (8 brain death, 8 cardiac arrest).
    • After discarding unusable units (bacterial contamination, HBsAg, hemolysis, turbidity), 10 packed red cell units, 10 plasma units, and 1 whole blood unit were obtained.

  • Sixteen patients received transfusions without adverse reactions, demonstrating the safety of carefully selected and tested cadaveric blood products.

    • Impact:

    • Cadaveric blood transfusion is a safe and viable practice when donors are rigorously screened and products are culture-confirmed sterile.
    • Blood recovery should be integrated into deceased donor protocols for maximal utilization of donated resources.
    • This approach can benefit patients experiencing difficulties in obtaining voluntary blood donors.
