[19] CHAPTER IX LESSON 1 Flashcards
A place where blood is collected from donors, typed, separated into components, stored, and prepared for transfusion to recipients
Blood Bank
may be a separate free-standing facility or part of a larger laboratory in a hospital.
Blood Bank
is a key international association of blood banks, including hospital and community blood centers, transfusion and transplantation services and individuals involved in transfusion and transplantation medicine
American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)
establishes the standards of care for patients and donors in all aspects of blood banking; transfusion medicine; hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies; and tissue transplantation.
American Association of Blood Banks (AABB)
In 1975, World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a resolution encouraging countries to promote the development of national blood services based on [?].
voluntary non-remunerated blood donation
Also, WHO set a goal for all blood donations to be collected from unpaid volunteer donors by
2020
A voluntary non-remunerated blood donor gives [?] of his or her own free will and receives no payment, either in the form of cash or in kind which could be considered a substitute for money.
blood, plasma or cellular components
The primary responsibility of a blood transfusion service is to provide a [?] supply of blood and blood products.
safe, sufficient and timely
All prospective blood donors should therefore be assessed for their [?] to donate blood, on each occasion of donation.
suitability
Most people can give blood if they are in good health. There are some basic requirements one need to fulfill in order to become a blood donor. Below are some basic eligibility guidelines:
In some countries national legislation permits [?] to donate provided that they fulfil the physical and hematological criteria required and that appropriate consent is obtained.
16–17 year-olds
In some countries, regular donors over the age of [?] may be accepted at the discretion of the responsible physician.
65
The upper age limit in some countries are [?].
60
Many successful homologous and autologous donations have taken place in donors over [?] years of age- upper age limit for blood donation is no longer defined.
75
Prospective donor should be observed for presence of
excessive anxiety, drug or alcohol influence and nervousness
of blood/kg of donor weight inclusive of pilot tubes for testing.
10.5mL
Computation if weight is below the requirement:
a. Volume to collect= (donor’s weight in kg/50) x 450mL
b. Volume to collect/450 x 63 mL= reduced volume of anticoagulant
c. 63 mL- above calculated volume= amount of solution to be removed
Athletes with less than [?] is not a cause for deferral
50 bpm
Allogeneic donation:
Greater than or equal to 12.5g/dL; >/= 38%
Autologous donation:
11g/dL and 33%
Hb & Hct collection
By fingerstick, by venipuncture, or by earlobe puncture
Methods for measuring Hgb
o Copper sulfate
o Point of care instruments- spectrophotometric methodology
Temperature Not to exceed
37.5C or 99.5F
Oral temperatures that are [?] than normal are not a cause for deferral
lower
Donors are asked not to drink [?] while waiting to donate, as this may sometimes affect their temperature
coffee or hot beverages
Age: between
18 to 65
Weight: at least
50 kg

50 to 100 bpm
systolic pressure not higher than [?]; diastolic not higher than [?]
180 mm Hg
100 mm Hg
Prior to donation, the donors arm should be inspected for
skin lesions
Evidence of skin lesions (e.g.; multiple puncture marks) is cause for
indefinite deferral
Skin disorders that are not a cause for deferral include
poison ivy and other rashes
At least [?] should lapse between whole blood donations
8 weeks
[?] after 2- unit red cell collection
16 weeks
[?] after infrequent apheresis
4 weeks
[?] after plasma, platelet (not to exceed [?]) or leukapheresis
> 2 days
24 times/year
You cannot donate if you have a
cold, flu, sore throat, cold sore, stomach bug or any other infection.
If you have recently had a tattoo or body piercing, you cannot donate for [?] from the date of the procedure.
