Introduction: Children serving as a donor for their siblings will require anesthesia or sedation. In view of shortage of time and space in operating room setting, peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest is performed as a daycare procedure.
Aim: This study aims to find out whether performing PBSC harvest in hematology blood collection area as a daycare procedure is safe or not.
Settings And Design: This secondary analysis included 164 pediatric PBSC harvest (154 pediatric donors, of which 10 had repeat harvesting done) donors, performed under anesthesia, in the Department of Hematology, between January 2009 and June 2017.
Materials And Methods: Donors were examined, informed consent was obtained, and adequate premedications were ensured. Induction was intravenous for cooperative donors or inhalational sevoflurane followed by intravenous maintenance infusion using either face mask or a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). During the procedure, vitals are monitored with a noninvasive monitor. Normal hemodynamics were ensured before transferring the children to the ward.
Statistical Analysis: Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0 statistical software. Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used for the data description.
Results: A total of 137 donors (median age of 5 years) were induced with sevoflurane and LMA was used in 84 children and face mask in 53. Twenty-seven children cooperated for intravenous induction. Various combinations of propofol, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine were used with respiratory and hemodynamic stability. The median duration of anesthesia was 250 (165-375) min. The recovery from anesthesia was smooth with a median wake-up time of 20 (5-60) min.
Conclusion: This retrospective analysis demonstrates that nonoperating room anesthesia for pediatric age group for PBSC harvest can be safely and successfully accomplished outside the operation room setting by a consultant anesthesiologist.

Predicting apheresis yield and factors affecting peripheral blood stem cell harvesting using a machine learning model.

Objective: Mobilization and collection of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are time-intensive and costly. Excessive apheresis sessions can cause physical discomfort for donors and increase the costs associated with collection. Therefore, it is essential to identify key predictive factors for successful harvests to minimize the need for multiple apheresis procedures.

Background: Myeloablative, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) improves outcome in some high-risk malignant solid tumors and lymphomas in children and young adults.
Methods: We performed 16 peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvests in 12 children and 2 young adult patients with a high-risk malignant solid tumor or refractory/relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma from August 2015 to December 2020. In our chemotherapy mobilization protocol, we used an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of >1 × 10/L following the nadir after chemotherapy as the criterion for undertaking the apheresis.
Stem cell collection and hematological recovery in the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) MCL0208 clinical trial.

In the frontline high-dose phase 3 FIL-MCL0208 trial (NCT02354313), 8% of enrolled mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients could not be randomised to receive lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance vs observation after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) due to inadequate hematological recovery and 52% of those who started LEN, needed a dose reduction due to toxicity. We therefore focused on the role played by CD34 + hematopoietic stem cells (PBSC) harvesting and reinfusion on toxicity and outcome. Overall, 90% (n = 245) of enrolled patients who underwent the first leukapheresis collected ≥ 4 × 10 PBSC/kg, 2.

Background/purpose: Insufficient numbers of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilization occurs in a significant proportion of PBSC collections, often from older age donors. Telomere length (TL) is often used as an indicator of an individual's biological age. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between donors' leukocyte TL and the outcome of G-CSF-induced PBSC mobilization in healthy unrelated donors.

Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate that utilizing a personalized approach to apheresis stem cell collection, can safely optimize the collection outcomes, especially in the context of poor mobilizers and high cell targets.
Background: The optimal mobilization and harvesting of peripheral blood stem cells is critical to the success of the stem cell transplant. The ideal strategy that promotes better cell yields, with sustainable use of resources and assuring patient safety, should be pursued.
