The 64.9% centres used continuous flow cell separator and central venous access (52%) was preferred vascular access. A combination of normal saline, fresh frozen plasma and 5% albumin replacement fluid was first choice. Doctors involved in TA were trained in apheresis during their MD\/DNB degree, but no structured training program existed for other category of staff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was a wide variability in TA practice in India and a dedicated training program for all categories of staff was emphasised by majority of participants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tme.12837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]],"date-time":"2021-11-26T06:48:42Z","timestamp":1637909322000},"page":"45-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Therapeutic apheresis and non\u2010blood donor related apheresis current practices at various blood centres of healthcare organisations of India: A brief online survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3419-0135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vijay","family":"Kumawat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Transfusion Medicine &amp; Haematology NIMHANS  Bengaluru India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0913-8375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Parmatma Prasad","family":"Tripathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transfusion Medicine &amp; Haematology NIMHANS  Bengaluru India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9681-3898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gopal Kumar","family":"Patidar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transfusion Medicine AIIMS  New Delhi India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Apheresis: Principles and Practice","author":"Corbin F","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"27","volume-title":"Apheresis: Principles and Practice","author":"Taft EG","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jca.21705"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","unstructured":"List of Licensed Blood Bank in India.Central drugs standard control organization website.2015.
