RECOMMENDATIONS There are no new recommendations this year; however, previous recommendations remain relevant and those in the table below are pertinent to this year’s report. The second, recommending a national register of patients with antibodies, is now redirected to the newly formed IT subgroup of the NBTC and its counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Previous recommendations relevant to this year’s report Year first made Recommendation Target Progress 2008 Prior to transfusion, an antibody history and a transfusion history should be actively sought for previously unknown patients with sickle cell disease. This must include contacting the local blood service reference laboratory as well as any other hospitals the patient has attended. Hospital blood transfusion laboratories The Shared Care document is now nationally available and can be used for patients with sickle cell disease. www.sicklecellsociety.org/pdf/ CareBook.pdf 2008 A national register of patients with antibodies, linked between the red cell reference laboratories, should be considered. UK blood services For 2010 this task is directed to the newly formed IT subgroup of the NBTC. 2005 All cases of suspected AHTR and DHTR should be appropriately investigated, and ideally referred to a reference laboratory. Referring hospitals should make it clear to reference laboratories that they are investigating an HTR to ensure that timely, appropriate tests are undertaken. Clinical details should be completed on the request forms and the donation numbers of the units transfused should be included, so that their phenotype can be determined. Hospital blood transfusion laboratories, Blood Service reference laboratories and the NBTC Transfusion Laboratory Managers Working Group BCSH guidelines for investigation and management of transfusion reactions are in progress. 2005 Reference laboratories should ensure that investigation of DHTRs includes testing an eluate made from the patient’s red cells when the DAT is positive. Blood Service reference laboratories Eluates were undertaken in 63% of cases this year and last year, compared with 35% in 2006 and 50% in 2005, suggesting sustained progress. 2001/02 Consideration should be given to issuing antibody cards or similar information to all patients with clinically significant red cell antibodies. These should be accompanied by patient information leaflets, explaining the significance of the antibody and impressing that the card should be shown in the event of a hospital admission or being crossmatched for surgery. Laboratories should be informed when patients carrying antibody cards are admitted. The CMO’s NBTC and its counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland This recommendation was made in the BCSH Guidelines (BCSH 2004). 106 12. Haemolytic Transfusion Reactions (HTR)
13. Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) Definition Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is defined as acute dyspnoea with hypoxia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates during or within 6 hours of transfusion, not due to circulatory overload or other likely causes. DATA SUMMARY Total number of cases 21 Implicated components Mortality/morbidity Highly likely/probable 9 Red cells 2 Deaths due to transfusion 0 Possible/unlikely 12 FFP 2 Deaths in which reaction was implicated Platelets 3 Major morbidity 18 Red cells and cryo 1 2 Unknown 13 Gender Age Emergency vs. routine and core hours vs. out of core hours Where transfusion took place Male Female Unknown 9 12 0 18 years+ 16 years+ to 18 years 1 year+ to 16 years 28 days+ to 1 year Birth to 28 days Unknown Total 19 2 0 0 0 0 21 Emergency Routine Not known In core hours Out of core hours Not known/applicable 21 21 ED Theatre ITU/NNU/HDU/Recovery Wards Community Outpatient/day unit Not known 21 In all, 32 questionnaires were received in 2009: 7 were transferred to other categories – 5 to TACO, 1 to TAD and 1 to ATR – and 4 were withdrawn, leaving 21 reports in this section. Two of the 4 withdrawn cases were withdrawn by the hospital reporter. One occurred before transfusion and the other was found to have bronchopneumonia. The other 2 cases were withdrawn by the analyst because they did not meet the SHOT definition for TRALI: ■■ 1 reaction occurred more than 6 hours after transfusion (12 to 24 hours) and there had been no change in respiratory status. ■■ 1 patient with severe alcoholic liver disease developed worsening respiratory function before transfusion began. This patient had been treated with palliative care because of poor prognosis. Twenty-one cases were analysed and the assessed probability of TRALI is shown in Figure 15. Two patients died, 1 had probable TRALI after RBC (Case 1, page 113) and the other had possible TRALI after RBC and FFP (Case 3). All other patients recovered fully from the event. Seven of 21 analysed cases concerned late reporting of incidents which had occurred in 2008. 13. Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) 107
