Question
Answer
What are the 4 components of blood   RBC, WBC, platelits, plasma  
🗑
What are the 3 components of Plasma   coag factors, albumin, abs  
🗑
What is albumin used for   transporting molecules throughout the body (usually lipid soluble)  
🗑
How much donor blood is taken   500ml and then separate into 4 parts, use each separately except WBC-discard  
🗑
What is the MC blood product used for medical therapy   RBC’s  
🗑
Why do they freeze it so rapidly, to what temp   to preserve the coag factors, 15 degrees below 0  
🗑
Indications for FFP   coag deficiencies d/t liver failure, DIC, vit K deficiency, warfarin tox, blood loss  
🗑
Nl platelit count   150-450,000/uL  
🗑
Indications for platelet transfusions   thrombocytopenia (<50,000) <10,000 if asymptomatic for bleed.  
🗑
What are causes of thrombocytopenia   chemo, increased destruction: DIC, massive blood loss  
🗑
How much will a unit of platelet concentration increase the platelet count Donors?   5000-10,000/uL 6 donors!  
🗑
When would WBC transfusions be given   leukopenia because of chemotherapy with septic shock  
🗑
Indications for RBC transfusion   ↑O2 carying, hypotension, ↓o2stats, dizziness, weakness, angina, altered mental status  
🗑
What is the transfusion criteria for replacement   <8g/dl  
🗑
What else depends on need for transfusion   rate of blood loss, rapid: body can’t compensate, need blood  
🗑
When would we perfust albumin   need to ↑ osmotic pressure of intra-extra-vasbular back to nl usually d/t hypovolemia and hypoprotenimia  
🗑
Other blood products available for transfusion   leukocyte reduced PRBCs irradiated leukocyte reduced PRBC’s, apheresis platelets,  
🗑
Are there antigens on O blood   no, so have anti-a and anti-b abs  
🗑
Are there antigens on A blood   yes, A surface antigens, and have anti-b Abs  
🗑
When are ABO blood antibodies produced   by 3m after birth  
🗑
What is the Rh antigen/antibodies   70% born w/ Rh antigen  
🗑
When are Rh antibodies produced   once exposed (don’t have them at birth, only have them once exposed to Rh + blood)  
🗑
What happens to a Rh – pt with 1st and 2nd exposure to Rh+ blood   1st, not much happens, builds Abs for it, 2nd, memory cells ↑ immune response, can be bad (kill a fetus)  
🗑
What is a type and screen   type the pt’s blood for their type of blood, screen for atypical RBC’s for specific abs .5-1 hr  
🗑
What is the screening more specifically for   an Rh like rxn to antigens in the donor blood→cause an immune response  
🗑
What is a type and cross   type pts blood, crossmatch with a donors blood product actually in the blood blank with the intent to transfuse, add pt’s blood w/ donor blood in test tube looking for agglutination  
🗑
What do we combine to crossmatch blood   pt’s WBC’s and the donor RBC blood looking for agglutination  
🗑
Universial donor for RBC and FFP   O- for RBC and AB+/- for FFP  
🗑
What happens w/ hemolytic transfusion rxns   RBCs burst, K+, Heme, Iron all released into the blood, usually toxic  
🗑
Clinical presentation of hemolytic transfusion reactions   DIC, acute renal failure (↑proteins), shock, triads of fever fland and red/brown urine  
🗑
What is the clinical triad of hemolytic transfusion reactions   fever, fland pain, red/brown urine  
🗑
Tx hemolytic transfusion rxns   med emergency, stop transfusion, maintain airway, saline, notify BB, obtain blood and UAs, vasporessors for hypotension pts  
🗑
What causes febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions   Interleukins and TNF alpha substance w/I blood products  
🗑
Clinical presentation of febrile nonhemolytic transfusion rxns   fever, chills, rigors, mild dyspnea  
🗑
Tx FNTR   usually stopping the transfusion, d/t what COULD happen, give tylonol and Benadryl for symptomatic relief  
🗑
CP delayed hemolytic transfusion rxns   slight fever falling hematocrit, mild ↑ unjonjugated billrubin etc. no tx necessary  
🗑
CP of anaphylaxis to transfusion rxns   shock, hypotension, angioedema, respiratory distress  
🗑
Tx anaphylaxis trx rxns   stopi t, epi, IM, maintain airway, saline, vasopressor if necessary  
🗑
What causes urticarial trx rxns   substance in blood prodcuts cause histamine release from mast cells and basophils causing hives  
🗑
Tx of urticrial trs rxsn   stop trx benedrly 25-50mg, no other signs, trx can be resumed  
🗑
What can cause severe thrombocytomenia lasting days to weeks post infusion   sensitivity to previous platelet antigen: HPA-1a called post transfusion purpura (PTP)  
🗑
Tx PTP   high dose corticosteroids or exchange trx, give IVIG, furture trxs, give washed cells or HPA-1a – cells  
🗑
What is TRALI   transfusion related acute lung injury unknown cause  
🗑
CP of TRALI   sudden respiratory distress, INTUBATE!  
🗑
Risks of transfusions   fluid overload, rxns, coag defects to massive trx, citrate tox, chelation of calcium, hyperkalemia, hypothermia, iron overload, air embolism  
🗑
Shelf life of RBC, FFP, platelets   R: 45 days, spiked 4 rhs, F: 1 yrs, 12hrs thawed, Platelets: on shelf 5 days  
🗑
What is hemolytic dz of newborn   mom Rh- baby Rh+ communication during birth, mom develops Rh abs, 2nd birth is Rh+ too, mom’s abs attack baby  
🗑
How do we prevent hemolytic newborn dz   during 1st preggo, rhogam  
🗑
What does rhogam do   kills the babies RBC in mom’s circulation, no Rh’s abs can be produced  
🗑
Who do we give rhogam to?   all mom’s who are Rh –  
🗑
When do we give Rhogam   1 dose at 26-28 weeks of gestation and one dose w/I 72 hrs of delievery (more if trauma or ↑ amount of blood mixed
