Quality Analysis of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasmapheresis

To summarized the technology of autologous platelet-rich plasmapheresis and analyzed the product quality, in order to provide safe and effective product guarantee service for clinical treatment. Technical parameters were set according to patient age, weight, height, and preoperative routine blood indices. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was collected, and the product quality and adverse reactions of patients were statistically analyzed. Autologous PRP had platelet (PLT), white blood cell (WBC), and red blood cell (RBC) counts of (1250.26 ± 435.88) × 109/L, (1.19 ± 1.95) × 109/L, and (0.05 ± 0.04) × 1012/L, respectively. The PLT enrichment ratio in PRP was 5.66 ± 1.66. There was no significant difference in PLT, RBC, WBC, or hematocrit before and after apheresis (P > 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 8%, and all were mild. When clinical patients use PRP in the treatment of diseases, autologous platelet-rich plasmapheresis technology was used to apheresis PRP, which has good product quality and few adverse reactions, and thus can be adopted more widely.

Effects of platelet-rich plasmapheresis during cardiovascular surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the effects of platelet-rich plasmapheresis (PRP) on the amount of postoperative blood loss and the requirements for allogeneic fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during cardiovascular surgery.

METHODS

A literature search of 7 online databases was conducted. Randomized control trials (RCT) comparing intraoperative PRP or appropriate control groups were considered suitable for this current study.

RESULTS

Fifteen RCTs enrolling a total of 1002 patients, including 501 patients who received PRP and 501 control patients. Meta-analysis of the data from these trials showed that PRP reduced the total volume of postoperative blood loss (standardized mean difference [SMD], -0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.18 to -0.31; P < 0.05), reduced postoperative fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion (SMD, -0.38; 95%CI, -0.69 to -0.08; P < 0.05), reduced postoperative RBCs transfusion (SMD, -0.44; 95%CI, -0.77 to -0.10; P < 0.05), and reduced the proportion of patients receiving postoperative allogeneic RBC transfusions (relative risk [RR], 0.44; 95%CI, 0.21-0.91, P < 0.05) during cardiovascular surgery.

CONCLUSION

Conducting PRP before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and transfusing autologous platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) after reversal of heparin could reduce postoperative blood loss, the requirements for blood products transfusion during cardiovascular surgery. A higher mean platelet count in aPRP may improve the final outcome. However, there was a high degree of undetermined heterogeneity among the analyzed trials, and larger and more precise RCTs are needed to confirm these conclusions.
