Impact of saline infusion and citrate infusion rate during donor plasmapheresis

The purpose of our research was to evaluate the effects of saline infusion to counteract incidents of severe hypotension during donor plasmapheresis (DP; synonym with plasma donation), and on immunoglobulin G (IgG) content in collected plasma, and on donor hematological values. It examines the clearance (Cl) of IgG during DP without saline to calculate the distribution of citrate and citrate infusion rate (CIR) during DP. It is based on three studies: an observation of saline infusion in donors with severe drops in blood pressure at DP, and two crossover trials of 32 repeat plasma donors each on saline infusion during DP. We observed 50 cases with a significant drop of mean systolic blood pressure ≤90 mm Hg in 1 year, predominantly in young, female first‐time donors. In trial 1, there was a reduction of IgG concentration in collected plasma related to the average IgG serum concentration without saline to 85.5% vs to 80.5% with saline (P < .001). In trial 2, there was an important 11%‐12% increase of the donor hematological values without saline during DP. An average of 84.6% of citrate was removed in retained plasma; our calculated minimal CIR of 0.16 ± 0.17 mg/kg/min was confirmed by other empirical studies. Our research has led to significant improvements in the practice of DP: (a) Saline should be infused at DP as clinically indicated in agreement with the donor. (b) Young, female first‐time donors require special care. (c) The long‐time effects of minimal amounts of citrate on bone metabolism are improbable.
