[Post-transfusion hemolytic reactions in regions endemic for the hereditary glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency].

This paper deals with the problem of hemocomponent therapy in the use of blood components from donors with hereditary glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency and with the matters of family donation in this blood anomaly. Posttransfusion hemolytic reactions during transfusions of packed red blood cells from donors with hereditary blood anomaly are retrospectively analyzed. Recommendations are formulated for recipients who have undergone transfusions of blood components from donors with G-6-PD deficiency.

[Clinical aspects of autologous blood donation in cardiosurgery].

The paper presents auto donation protocols and a procedure for autodonor plasmapheresis used in cardiosurgical patients, complications, and their preventive measures on the basis of an analysis of 308 autodonor plasmapheresis procedures performed at the Russian Surgery Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, in 2007. The preoperative autoblood preservation safety concept envisaging the safety of autodonors during blood donation, the correct storage and issue of autocomponents, and the prevention of adverse reactions to blood exfusion in patients was introduced. The rate of the reactions was 6.
