The role of leucocyte depletion in blood transfusion practice : proceedings of the international workshop, London 9 July 1988

The role of leucocyte depletion in blood tranfusion practice - an introduction leucocyte-depleted blood components prevent primary HLA-immunization in the majority of patients receiving multiple blood tranfusions prevention of non-Haemolytic tranfusion reactions by a simple, effective and economcial procedure Platelet tranfusion - the problem of refactoriness leucocyte-depleted blood products and their clinical usefulness advanced methods for leucocyte removal by blood filtration blood centre implications of leucocyte depletion by filtration tranfusion of leucocyte-depleted blood by bedside filtration - use of a sterile-connecting device to prepare leucocyte-poor filtered red cells in a closed system improvement of the leucocyte depletion by routine production of buffycoat-poor red cells using a standardized procedure filtration of blood from donors with HbAS - an unexpected problem leucocyte-depleted red cell suspensions.
