'whole blood' replaces blood volume and all blood products
PRBC's packed red blood cells increases O2 carrying capacity - ONE unit raises HCT by 2-3%
autologous RBC (self donated ) client donates own blood 4-5 weeks prior to surgery
Platelets PTL Used in pt's with thrombocytopenia -low platlets- ONE unit increases platlet count by 5000(fresh is more effective )
Albumin (if low= swelling ) blood volume expander
clotting factors and cryoprecipitate contains fibrinogen; used in clotting factor deficency
FFP fresh frozen plasma
TRANSFUSION REACTIONS --
Type and crossmatch for compatibility Both donor & recipient
administration of mismatched blood can lead to = HEMOLYSIS of RBC's
reaction typically = 5-15 minutes - but can happen anytime
frequent assessment required= before and during transfusion
if reaction begins = (4 steps ) D/C transfusions and bag of saline attached start fresh bag and tubing of normal saline blood product, saline, and all tubing must be returned for testing call physician
Hemolytic reaction is defined as = incompatibility between client and donor blood
hemolytic reaction step STOP transfusion immediately follow protocol
hemolytic reaction signs and symptoms include fever, chills, reddish or brown urine, tachycardia, hypotension
Febrile reaction is defined as sensitivity to WBC, platelets or plasma proteins NO hemolysis
signs and symptoms febrile reaction fever, chills, headache and anxiety TXT: with antipyretics
(mild) allergic reaction is mild sesnitivty to infused plasma proteins
signs and symptoms of allergic reaction flushing, urticaria, (with or without itching)
STEPS FOR MILD allergic reaction MAINTAIN ABCDE'S
SEVERE antigen/antibody reaction S/S dyspnea, stridor, chest pain, hypotension, flushing maintain ABCDE'S
CIRCULATORY OVERLOAD (HYPERVOLEMIA ) Blood administered too fast for circulation
s/s circulatory overload dyspenea, distened neck veins, crackles, tachycardia, and hpertension
SEPSIS= CONAMINATED BLOOD ADMINISTEERED
S/S SEPSIS high fever, chills, vomiting, hypotension oliguria ADMIN antibiotics
INTERENTIONS STOP transfuisons KVO- NEW normal saline and tubing do not use normal saline from blood transfusions Y set ; the filter contains blood new tubing must be used notify MD
INTERENTIONS follow facilty protocol send blood container, attached infusion set and IV solution to blood bank
BLOOD ADMINISTRATION only NS obtain from blood bank do not store on unit fridge admin 30 min finish wihtin 4 hours
blood admin 2 RN's to check bedside 18/ 20 gauge
important I&O is important patient may be premedicated 30min proior to transfusion
