Abstract :

Platelet transfusions are indicated in patients who are bleeding or at increased risk of spontaneous bleeding.SDP has numerous advantages over RDP. An Audit of single donor platelet pheresis (SDP) was done at GMC, Kota to assess the demographic profile of the donors, ABO and Rh (D) group profile, Serological markers, mean platelets count of donors, Voluntary or replacement donation and maximum no of SDP issued. Platepheresis is a safe procedure when proper selection criteria is employed and can be tolerated by majority of the donors as no major adverse reactions were noted. In our study, blood donation was highest among younger people. If donors are continuously motivated, the percentage of voluntary blood donation can be increased. Our data showed increasing trend of donation from 2015 till October 2017 and hence the effectiveness of plateletpheresis and increasing awareness among clinicians and patients for its use with fewer side effects.
