Q

what are disadvantages to storing blood?

A

-progressive decrease in ATP and 2,3 dpg
-results in L shift
-even though admin of hgb will increase ability of blood to transport oxygen, the longer the blood is stored and the more of it that is given, the ore the pt oxyhgb diissociation curve shifts L -> decreasing effectiveness of the blood given
-K in stored blood increases- can be hazardous when lg doses of blood is admin

Q

in what pt would be admin of uncrossmatched type o, rh pos blood be contraindicated

A

uncrossed type o rh pos blood can be adminisered to males or females who are not childbearing age who have never recieved o pos blood before.

if the pt is female child bearing age or if pt blood admin hx is unknown- then you should use o neg blood

Q

what is acute normovolemic hemodilution?

A

alternative to transfuison. whole blood is removed from the pt prior to surgery with replacement of lost volume in the form of crystalloids or colloids. by diluting vascular bed, any blood lost during surgery will have a lower hct. the previous removed blood is then reinfused back into the patient when intraop blood loss has ceased.

Q

a pt with von williebrand disease is experiencing cont bleeding at the site of his surgical incision despite tx with DDAVP. the next treatment you would recommend for this patient is

Q

what device monitors the integrity of the isolated power supply for an operating room?

A

line isolation monitor

operating rooms often have an isolated power supply- decrease the incidence of inadvertant electrical shock if a pt or healthcare worker come into contact with a single live wire. unless both power lines are contacted, a circuit is not completed, and the risk for electrical shock is minimized. the presence of a faulty piece of equipment can turn an isolated power supply into a traditional, grounded electrical source, and electrical shock becomes a higher risk.

a line isolation monitor constantly evaluated the integrity of the system to produce an alert if this happens

Q

a drug with a high hepatic extraction ratio exhibits a decreased metabolism in elderly patients primarily due to a decrease in

A

hepatic blood flow

hepatic transaminase levels and hepatic enzyme activity do not normally change with increased age.

hepatic mass does decrease with age, but clearance of drugs with high hepatic extraction ratio relies on hepatic blood flow not hepatic mass
