The cord blood infusion procedure involves the intravenous infusion of donated cord blood cells. The procedure differs from standard blood transfusions with regard to the source of blood cells.
Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta after the newborn’s umbilical cord has been clamped and cut. Collection of cord blood from the placenta is harmless and painless for child and mother. The residual placenta and umbilical blood or “cord blood” is collected via the umbilical vein. When cord blood is not collected, it is discarded with the placenta.
Each single donor cord blood collection is designated as a Cord Blood Unit (CBU). Cord blood units are stored in liquid nitrogen at approximately -200°C (-320°F).
In order to maximize therapeutic effect, a dose of greater than 50 million cord blood cells per kg from 4 to 8 donors is infused in each procedure, and the cord blood infusions are generally administered over the course of 2 to 3 days.
