How do we…consistently provide high-dose granulocyte products for transfusions in neutropenic patients?

In order to properly assess the effectiveness of granulocyte transfusions in patients, it is necessary to ensure that the products being transfused contain an adequate granulocyte dose. This study demonstrates that the combination of G-CSF and dexamethasone donor stimulation, followed by apheresis granulocyte collection, is safe and can reliably yield a high-dose product. Consistent production of high-dose units allows for better assessment of patient outcomes by reducing dosage variability.
