Cesar de Almeida Neto: Digital Connectivity Can Transform Plateletpheresis Practice
Cesar de Almeida Neto, Medical Manager at Hospital Nove de Julho, Head of Apheresis Department at Pró-Sangue Foundation Hemocenter of São Paulo, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Vox Sanguinis, adding:
“Digital connectivity can transform plateletpheresis practice.
Apheresis platelet concentrates are essential blood components for patients in a variety of clinical settings. Ensuring their availability while maintaining donor safety and operational efficiency is a constant challenge for blood centers.
Our study, published in Vox Sanguinis, showed that integrating apheresis devices with the blood bank information system reduced data discrepancies from 47% to 3% and manual interactions by 30%.
Combined with data-driven donor selection, triple-dose collections increased platelet productivity by 16%, without increasing overall adverse event rates.
The message for everyday practice: digital innovation means better data, safer procedures, more efficient workflows, and smarter use of our donor pool.
The article is Open Access!
I encourage you to download and read the full paper, and share your thoughts.”
