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

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
