Efficacy of Training in Manual Preparation of Platelet Rich Plasma

This is a device study in some respects, in that specialized centrifuges are commonly used to make platelet rich plasma, and we are studying the use of standard laboratory equipment to do so. However, it is primarily interventional in that we will evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • English speaking medical practitioners(N.D., D.O. or M.D.)or their office staff

Exclusion criteria

  • History of difficult blood draws
  • Platelet count < 150,000
  • Hb < 37%
  • History of blood disorder
  • History of altered platelet function
  • History of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Treatment and study plan

Venipuncture

Procedure

Blood draw for purposes of training in platelet rich plasma concentration. Trainees will be in pairs and each will draw blood from the other for use in the concentration process.

Primary outcomes

  1. Platelet Concentration Ability After 8 Hours of Training.

    Time frame: 8 Hours After Onset of Training

    Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Retention of Platelet Concentration Ability At One Month.

    Time frame: Minimum 30 days after training day.

    Evaluate the percentage success of trainees in the concentration of viable platelets to more than 4X baseline using a generic speed centrifuge and a single spin method. The number evaluated to determine success will be the average concentration ratio achieved in three consecutive concentrations performed 30 days or longer after the training day.
