Improving packed red blood cell storage with a high-viscosity buffered storage solution.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Massive transfusion with older packed red blood cells is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. As packed red blood cells age, they undergo biochemical and structural changes known as the storage lesion. We developed a novel solution to increase viscosity in stored packed red blood cells. We hypothesized that packed red blood cell storage in this solution would blunt storage lesion formation and mitigate the inflammatory response after resuscitation.

Methods

Blood was obtained from 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 male donor mice or human volunteers and stored as packed red blood cell units for 14 days for mice or 42 days for humans in either standard AS-3 storage solution or EAS-1587, the novel packed red blood cell storage solution. Packed red blood cells were analyzed for microvesicles, cell-free hemoglobin, phosphatidylserine, band-3 protein, glucose utilization, and osmotic fragility. Additional mice underwent hemorrhage and resuscitation with packed red blood cells stored in either AS-3 or EAS-1587. Serum was analyzed for inflammatory markers.

Results

Murine packed red blood cells stored in EAS-1587 demonstrated reductions in microvesicle and cell-free hemoglobin accumulation as well as preserved band-3 expression, increase glucose utilization, reductions in phosphatidylserine expression, and susceptibility to osmotic stress. Serum from mice resuscitated with packed red blood cells stored in EAS-1587 demonstrated reduced proinflammatory cytokines. Human packed red blood cells demonstrated a reduction in microvesicle and cell-free hemoglobin as well as an increase in glucose utilization.

Conclusion

Storage of packed red blood cells in a novel storage solution mitigated many aspects of the red blood cell storage lesion as well as the inflammatory response to resuscitation after hemorrhage. This modified storage solution may lead to improvement of packed red blood cell storage and reduce harm after massive transfusion.

Project description:BackgroundIt is well established that counter-regulation to hypoxia follows a hierarchical pattern, with brain-sparing in preference to peripheral tissues. In contrast, it is unknown if the same hierarchical sequence applies to recovery from hypoxia after correction of anemia with packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBCT).ObjectiveTo understand the chronology of cerebral and splanchnic tissue oxygenation resulting after correction of anemia by PRBCT in preterm infants using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).DesignProspective cohort study.SettingNeonatal intensive care.Patients includedHaemodynamically stable infants: <32 weeks gestation, <37weeks postmenstrual age, <1500 grams birth weight; and ≥120 mL/kg/day feeds tolerated.InterventionPRBCT at 15 mL/Kg over 4 hours.Main outcome measuresTransfusion-associated changes were determined by comparing the 4-hour mean pre-transfusion cerebral and splanchnic fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOEc0; FTOEs0) with hourly means during (FTOEc1-4; FTOEs1-4) and for 24 hours after PRBCT completion (FTOEc5-28; FTOEs5-28).ResultsOf 30 enrolled infants, 14[46.7%] male; median[IQR] birth weight, 923[655-1064]g; gestation, 26.4[25.5-28.1]weeks; enrolment weight, 1549[1113-1882]g; and postmenstrual age, 33.6[32.4-35]weeks, 1 infant was excluded because of corrupted NIRS data. FTOEc significantly decreased during and for 24 hours after PRBCT (p < 0.001), indicating prompt improvement in cerebral oxygenation. In contrast, FTOEs showed no significant changes during and after PRBCT (p>0.05), indicating failure of improvement in splanchnic oxygenation.ConclusionImprovement in regional oxygenation after PRBCT follows the same hierarchical pattern with a prompt improvement of cerebral but not splanchnic tissue oxygenation. We hypothesise that this hierarchical recovery may indicate continued splanchnic hypoxia in the immediate post-transfusion period and vulnerability to transfusion-associated necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC). Our study provides a possible mechanistic underpinning for TANEC and warrants future randomised controlled studies to stratify its prevention.
