IV, IVPB, & blood definitions
Air Embolism   Obstruction of a blood vessel caused by an air bubble.  
🗑
Anaphylactic reactions   A type one hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction between an allergenic antigen and immunoglobuline E (IgE) bound to mast cells, which stimulates the sudden release of immunological mediators locally or throughout the body.  
🗑
Antibody   An immunoglobulin produced by B lymphocytes in response to a unique antigen. Each AB molecule combines with a specific antigen to destroy or control it.  
🗑
Antigen   A protein or oligosaccharide marker on the surface of cells that indentifies the cell as self or nonself, identifies the type of cell, e.g., skin, kidney stimulates the production of antibodies by B lympocytes, that will neutralize or destroy the cell.  
🗑
Autologous blood transfusion   A procedure for collecting and storing a patients own blood several weeks before its anticipated need by the patient.  
🗑
Colloids   A gluelike substance, such as protein or starch, whose particles ( molecules or aggregate of molecules) when dispersed as much as possible in a solvent remain uniformly distributed and do not form a true solution.  
🗑
Crossmatching of blood   A test to establish blood compatibility before transfusion.  
🗑
Cryoprecipitate   The Percipitate for med. when serum from patients with reheumatoid arthritis, glomerulonehritis, systemic lupus of erthemotosus and other chronic diseases in which Immune complexes are found is stored @ 4 degrees C. Used for bleeding disorders.  
🗑
Crystalloids   like a crystal, opposite of colloids  
🗑
Designated or Directed Donor   A person who furnishes blood, tissue, or an organ to be used in another person.  
🗑
Electrolytes   A solution that conducts electricity. An ionized salt in blood, tissue, fluids, and cells.  
🗑
Emboli   A mass of undissolved matter present in a blood or lymphatic vessel and brought there by the blood or lymph.  
🗑
Extravasation   The escape of fluid from its physiologic contained space, e.g., bile, blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) into the surrounding tissue.

🗑
Hemolysis   The destruction of RBC's b/c of RBC diseases or because of their exposure to drugs toxins , artifical heart valves, ntibodies, some infections, or snake venoms. The cell membranes are destroyed directly or through antibody- medicated lysis.  
🗑
Heparin lock   An intermittent infusion device that is used episodically for fluid or medication infusion.  
🗑
Homologous blood transfusion   similar in fundemental structure and in origin but not necessarily in function.  
🗑
Hypertonic   Pert. to a solution of higher osmotic pressure thn another.  
🗑
Hypotonic   Pert. to a solution of lower osmotic pressure than another.  
🗑
Infiltration   The process of a substance passing into and being deposited within the substance of a cell, tissue, or organ.  
🗑
Infusion pump   A pump used to give fluids into an artery, vein, or enteral tube, beneficial in over coming arterial resistance or administering thick solutions.  
🗑
Infusion   Any liquid substance ( other than blood) introduced into the body via a vein for therapeutic process.  
🗑
Intravenous   Within or into a vein.  
🗑
Isotonic   Pert. to a solution with the same osmotic pressure as a reference solution.  
🗑
Osmolarity   The concentration of osmotically active particles in a solution.  
🗑
