2 Assess access Preparing patients for an EBT/RBCX program Informed consent: Provide literature / consider cognition issues in CVA and younger patients, may require family involvement Introduce patient to ward/unit/ Optia machine/ Meet other SCD patients on EBT program Address concerns regarding blood and virology risk (cultural and religious influences) Speak to employer or educational establishment regarding regular absences

3 Manual transfusion Manual Vs Automated Automated exchange Advantages Cheap Out of hours service Little training required Disadvantages Slow Estimates only High iron loading Poorly tolerated by patients Risk of Contamination &infection Advantages Quick, &Less labour Little iron loading Less volume shift Predictable end result Achievable low Hb S% Disadvantages Expensive equipment On call service costs Training

4 Access Peripheral requires large veins and fistula needle Portacath Requires strict asep<c techniques Femoral line inser<on with interven<onal radiology

5 Venous access - peripheral

6 Double lumen vortex port Access needle 16g non- coring needle Procedure Ames approx 2hrs The flow rates vary between 34-40

7 Femoral Line Vascular - X ray guided (NICE guidelines) Consent Cannulation NBM for sedation Considerations >DVT >Infection > Pain (local and oral analgesia)

8 How to do an automated exchange

9 Rou<ne bloods & Monitoring issues Pre Bloods FBC, HbS %, U&E, LFT, Bone profile, X- match, cloqng, FerriAn (day before) 6-8 units 6-10 weekly Consent EBT and femoral line Annual Virology (hepaaas B,C and HIV)

10 Prepara<on for procedure Height and weight Haematocrit IniAal Replacement (57%) End Hct (up to 2% above iniaal Hct) FracAon cells remaining (S %) Pre HbS% X 100 = FCR Target HbS% Volume to exchanged

11 Running the procedure In a stable patient at least 1.5 hour Need to slow rate if patient unwell up to 2 hours Children Small pts < 50kg Pregnant women Previous vaso-vagal Observations every minutes Hypocalcaemia po or iv Ca Check Hb and S % 30min post tx Saline flush & Heplock Remove needles/ lines Observe for 1 hour

12 Targets & intervals Interval Can range between 4-10 weekly Target HbS Pre 8-10gdl Post Hb approx 1gm/dl above starting Hb

13 Managing a patient during an EBT/ RBCX Paediatric pts or adult emergency should be in HDU for monitoring reasons Local anaesthetic cream/spray prior to access or analgesia/sedation prior to vascath if appropriate Get patient to go to use toilet immediately prior EBT Ensure patient adequately distracted and comfortable) TV /Video/music etc

14

15 Managing a patient during an EBT/ RBCX Hypovolaemia and vaso-vagal episodes rare, but may happen. Give additional fluids via Optia if required or encourage oral fluids at home before precedure VOC pain may increase as opiates will be washed out during EBT

16 Vortex port-safety management & infection control Must have Protocols in place Strict controls on access Only trained and competent staff - Bands 6 and above to access ports

17

18 Challenges Non- flush blockages at ini<al access Difficul<es securing access needle Non flow/raised access pressures during procedure?? Flow rate,?? Posi<onal
