Question
Answer
When a tube of blood is centrifuged, the components separate in order of increasing specific gravity: list top to bottom   plasma, platelets, lymphocytes and monocytes, granulocytes, RBCs  
🗑
Typical preset ratio for anticoagulant solution in apheresis   10-14 parts of whole blood to 1 part of citrate Anti-coagulant  
🗑
Which is more commonly used for apheresis procedures: A. centrifugation B. filtration   A. centrifugation  
🗑
The most commonly performed therapeutic apheresis procedure   TPE: therapeutic plasma exchange  
🗑
What % of IgM is removed with a 1 volume TPE?   70%; IgG is less  
🗑
Increased muscle mass effects total blood volume in this way   increases  
🗑
obesity effects total blood volume in this way   decreases  
🗑
formula for estimating total blood volume   70ml/kg in males; 65 ml/kg in females  
🗑
The general standard of care is to limit the extracorporeal blood volume during an apheresis procedure to this %   15%  
🗑
for TPE, avoid using plasma unless: 1._ 2._ 3._   1. plasma is specifically indicated to treat disease(TTP) 2. plasma is required to correct a coagulation factor 3. plasma is needed to prevent dilutional coagulopathy in actively bleeding patient (pulmonary renal syndrome)  
🗑
When a patient needs dialysis and apheresis the same day, which should be done first? Why?   apheresis because possible hypotension  
🗑
anticoagulant of choice in apheresis   citrate  
🗑
how does citrate work as an anticoagulant   binds calcium. blocks calcium dependent platelet activation and clotting factor reactions  
🗑
Patients with dysfunction in this organ are more prone to citrate reactions in apheresis   liver  
🗑
The single greatest risk factor for adverse events associated with therapeutic apheresis   central venous catheter  
🗑
Apheresis effect on PT and PTT   increases  
🗑
This coagulation protein should be assessed regularly in TPE patients   fibrinogen  
🗑
The rate of adverse events during therapeutic apheresis is _%   5% (up to 33% if you count mild perioral tingling,etc)  
🗑
Most common symptoms of citrate reactions   perioral tingling and peripheral parethesias  
🗑
treatments for citrate reactions   lower rate. Chewable calcium tabs IV calcium gluconate  
🗑
The most common reaction seen with whole blood donation   vasovagal reaction  
🗑
Treatment of air embolism   place patient on left side in Tredenlenberg position so air will go to apex of right ventricle. Then air will dissolve into bloodstream  
🗑
