Augustina Isioma Ikusemoro, Hematology and Transfusion Medicine Specialist at Sharjah Blood Transfusion and Research Center, shared a post onย LinkedIn:
”Quality Indicators in Processed Blood Components
Ensuring Blood Safety and Transfusion Effectiveness
Why Quality Indicators Matter
Quality monitoring during blood component processing ensures that every unit transfused is safe, effective, and clinically beneficial.
Key Quality Indicators
Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
- Hematocrit level
- Hemoglobin content
- Low hemolysis rate
Platelets
- Platelet yield
- pH at expiry
- Swirling (viability indicator)
- Bacterial screening
Plasma (FFP)
- Coagulation factor activity
- Correct freezing time
- Volume consistency
Cryoprecipitate
- Adequate fibrinogen content
- Factor VIII level
- Standardized unit volume
Impact on Transfusion Medicine
- Improves patient safety
- Ensures therapeutic effectiveness
- Supports regulatory compliance
- Strengthens blood bank quality systems
Every safe transfusion begins long before the patient receives blood โ it starts with quality-controlled component processing.”
