Microfluidic Flow Chambers Using Reconstituted Blood to Model Hemostasis and Platelet Transfusion In Vitro10:25

Microfluidic Flow Chambers Using Reconstituted Blood to Model Hemostasis and Platelet Transfusion In Vitro

9.9K
Platelet transfusion and hemostasis was modeled using blood reconstitution and microfluidic flow chambers to investigate the function of blood banking platelets. The data demonstrate the consequences of platelet storage lesion on hemostasis, in vitro.

Blood Transfusion

2.1K
Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination

14.0K
Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Routine Screening Method for Microparticles in Platelet Transfusions

16.5K
Platelet inventory management based on screening microparticle content in platelet concentrates is a new quality improvement initiative in hospital blood banks. The goal is to differentiate activated from non-activated platelets to optimize the use of platelets. Providing non-activated platelets to hematology-oncology patients might reduce their high risk to become...

A Microfluidic Flow Chamber Model for Platelet Transfusion and Hemostasis Measures Platelet Deposition and Fibrin Formation in Real-time

14.3K
This paper describes an experimental model of hemostasis that simultaneously measures platelet function and coagulation. Platelet and fibrin fluorescence is measured in real-time, and platelet adhesion rate, coagulation rate, and onset of coagulation are determined. The model is used to determine platelet procoagulant properties under flow in concentrates for...

Area of Science:

  • Space Medicine
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Astronauts on exploration missions face risks of traumatic injury and hemorrhage.
  • Current resuscitation protocols are limited by the austere conditions of spaceflight.
  • Solutions may be adapted from low-resource terrestrial settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the applicability of alternative blood product administration and walking blood banks for spaceflight.
  • To explore solutions for managing life-threatening hemorrhage in astronauts.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar.
  • Twenty-seven relevant articles were identified and cross-referenced.
  • The review included controlled trials, cohort analyses, reviews, case reports, and experimental studies.

Main Results:

  • Investigational solutions include lyophilized blood products, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), and fresh whole blood.
  • Terrestrial walking blood bank protocols involve donor screening, activation, transfusion, and adverse reaction monitoring.
  • Spaceflight presents unique challenges: microgravity, physiological changes, product reconstitution, air emboli risk, equipment limits, and restricted surgical/evacuation options.

Conclusions:

  • Medical planning for space exploration must account for acute blood loss.
  • A model for "floating" blood banks, adapted from terrestrial protocols, is proposed for spaceflight.
  • Challenges of volume, mass, storage, and crew must be balanced against enhanced medical capabilities.
