Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Buffy-coat-derived platelet concentrates and plasma-rich platelet concentrates have a high incidence of invalid infusion and adverse reactions.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the improved preparation of buffy-coat-derived platelet concentrates and to analyze the influential factors relevant to platelet recovery.
METHODS: 400 mL of blood sample extracted from 126 cases were randomly divided into improved buffy-coat group, buffer-coat group and platelet-rich plasma after 4-6 hours. The 3-step centrifugal method was used for improved preparation of buffy-coat-derived platelet concentrates: step 1, centrifugation at 2 300 r/min for       12 minutes at (22±2)℃ with a deceleration of 5; step 2, centrifugation at 910 r/min for 10 minutes at (22±2)℃; step 3, centrifugation at 2 800 r/min for 12 minutes at (22±2)℃. After centrifugation, the upper layer containing few platelets was removed, and the rest 30 mL platelet suspension was platelet concentrates. Factors affecting platelet recovery were analyzed through literature retrieval.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no difference in platelet number among the three groups before preparation of platelet concentrates (P  > 0.05). A higher rate of platelet recovery was found in the platelet-rich plasma group and improved buffy-coat group compared with the buffy-coat group (P  < 0.05), but there was no difference between the former two groups (P > 0.05). There were less residual red blood cells and white blood cells in the two buffy-coat groups than the platelet-rich plasma group (P  < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two buffy-coat groups (P  > 0.05). The recovery rate of prepared platelet concentrates was affected by the whole blood amount, centrifugal speed, centrifugation time and methods. Improved buffy-coat method for preparation of platelet concentrates can be generalized in blood centers or blood stations, because it can reduce residual red blood cells and white blood cells and increase rate of platelet recovery.
