Comparison between Automated Erythrocytopharesis (AECP) and Manual Exchange Transfusion (M-Ex)) in Reducing Hb-S and in Recovery of Acute Chest Syndrome and Other Acute Presentations of Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Conclusions:Erythrocytopharesis (Automated RBC exchange) is effective, quick and safe procedure that is life saving for many patients with ACS and is associated with less difficulties and complications if compared with the manual exchange. Because SCA is a national problem in Saudi Arabia and acute chest syndrome and other acute major complications comprehensively kill SCD patients, Automated Erythocytopharesis should be available nation-wide like dialysis machines at all large hospitals in all cities and should be distributed according to the prevalence of SCA in the area or location.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
