is the donation of blood by the intended recipient.
Autologous (self) transfusion
The infusion of blood from another donor is called
allogeneic transfusion.
The patient’s own blood reduces the possibility of transfusion reaction or transmission of infectious disease
Autologous (self) transfusion
Collected by regular blood donation procedure, the blood can be stored as liquid or, for longer storage, frozen.
- Predeposit autologous donation
Usually reserved for patients anticipating a need for transfusion, such as for a scheduled surgery
- Predeposit autologous donation
Collection of 1 or 2 units of blood from the patient just before a surgical procedure, replacing the removed blood volume with crystalloid or colloid solution.
- Intraoperative hemodilution
Then, at the end of surgery, the blood units are infused into the patient.
- Intraoperative hemodilution
Group O RBCs are selected for patients for whom transfusion cannot wait until their ABO and Rh type can be determined.
- Emergency Transfusion
Group O-negative RBC units should be used if the patient is a female of child-bearing potential.
- Emergency Transfusion
After issuing O blood or type-specific blood, the antibody screen can be completed, and decisions can then be made for the selection of additional units of blood.
- Emergency Transfusion
Massive transfusion is defined as the replacement of one or more blood volumes within 24 hours, or about 10 units of blood in an adult.
- Massive Transfusion
Draw type and crossmatch
2 units group O RBCs uncrossmatched
Prepare massive transfusion protocol pack by transfusion service
4 to 6 type-specific or cross matched RBCs
4 plasma
1 platelet pool or plateletpheresis
Monitor CBC, platelet count, PT/INR, PTT, fibrinogen
Add or subtract components based on lab values
Provide additional MTP packs
Continue transfusion until unneeded
Premature infants frequently require transfusion of small amounts of RBCs to replace blood drawn for laboratory tests and to treat the anemia of prematurity
- Neonatal Transfusion
Neonatal Transfusion
A dose of [?] will increase the hemoglobin by approximately [?]
10 mL/kg
3 g/dL.
Neonatal Transfusion Aliquoted Units
Less than 7 days old, unless infused slowly
O-negative or compatible with mother and infant
CMV-negative or leukocyte-reduced
Hemoglobin S–negative for hypoxic newborns
Neonatal Transfusion Dose:
10 mL/kg over 2 to 3 hours
The patient identification label is compared at the bedside to the [?]. This prevents a specimen tube labeled with one patient’s name being used for the collection of a specimen from another patient.
