Saneha Anjum Shaikh: Red Cell Aliquoting – Precision in Transfusion Medicine
Saneha Anjum Shaikh, Transfusion Medicine Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Red Cell Aliquoting: Precision in Transfusion Medicine
Aliquoting red cells is a vital process that ensures patients — especially the most vulnerable — receive blood components in the safest and most effective way. By using sterile tubing welding technology, aliquots can be prepared in a closed system, maintaining product integrity and preventing contamination.
Indications for Aliquoting
- Neonatal transfusions: Premature and low‑birth‑weight infants often require small, precisely measured aliquots.
- Pediatric transfusions: Controlled dosing prevents volume overload in children.
- Exchange transfusions: Multiple aliquots are prepared for sequential transfusion in hemolytic disease of the newborn.
- Intrauterine transfusions: Sterile aliquots are essential for fetal interventions.
- Research and quality control: Aliquoting allows sampling without compromising the sterility of the main unit.
Why It Matters
- Maintains aseptic integrity through closed‑system welding
- Provides accurate volume control for sensitive patients
- Ensures traceability and compliance with transfusion standards
Aliquoting is more than a technical step — it is a patient safety intervention that supports precision medicine and high‑quality transfusion care.
We can discuss about the variations in volume and method in comments”
