Erythrocytapheresis (red cell exchange)

K Sentinella, R Thompson, D Hunt

    Progress in Clinical and Biological Research
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Automated erythrocytapheresis effectively managed sickle cell disease complications in two patients. Red cell exchange prevented ischemic syndrome and resolved acute crisis symptoms and respiratory issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Sickle cell disease presents significant clinical challenges, including ischemic events and acute crises.
    • Automated erythrocytapheresis offers a potential therapeutic intervention for managing sickle cell disease complications.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with sickle cell disease underwent automated red cell exchange using the IBM 2997 Blood Cell Separator.
    • Procedures were tailored with varied instrument settings to meet individual hematological requirements.

    Findings:

    • Preoperative red cell exchange in one patient aimed to prevent anterior ischemic syndrome during surgery.
    • In the second patient, red cell exchange alleviated acute sickle crisis symptoms and resolved respiratory complications.

    Implications:

    • Automated erythrocytapheresis demonstrates versatility in addressing diverse sickle cell disease manifestations.
    • This technology allows for personalized therapeutic adjustments, optimizing patient outcomes in hematological care.
