B3-050 Transfusion Reactions Flashcards
most life threatening transfusion reaction due to ABO mismatch
acute hemolytic transfusion reaction
symptoms:
fever and chills
back pain, nausea, flushing, dyspnea, DIC, acute renal failure
acute hemolytic transfusion reaction
symptoms:
fever
chill/rigor
dyspnea, wheezing
hypertension
flushing
febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction
etiology: cytokin and WBC in bag
febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction
treatment febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction
r/o hemolytic reaction
tylenol, merperidine
prevention of febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction
leukoreduction
symptoms:
fever
chills
hypotension
bacterial sepsis
symptoms:
fever
chills
hypotension
bacterial sepsis
etiology: bacterial contamination of unit
bacterial sepsis
usually G+ platelet
management of bacterial sepsis
draw cultures
send unit back to blood bank
IV antibiotics, pressors, fluids
prevention of bacterial sepsis
donor screening
cleansing of phelobotmy site
bacterial screening
symptoms:
urticaria, local erythema
pruritis, no fever
allergic reaction
allergic reaction to transfused plasma proteins
allergic reaction
management of allergic reaction
antihistamine
if symptoms subside, restart slowly
only TxRX that may not cause termination
prevention of allergic reaction
antihistamine 30 prior to starting trasfusion
symptoms:
hypotension/shock
wheezing, respiratory distress
larygeal edema
anaphylaxis
caused by anti-IgA antibodies in IgA deficient recipients
anaphylaxis
management anaphylaxis
treat hypotension
subq epi
prevention anaphylaxis
for known IgA deficienct patients:
-premedicate with antihistamines
for cellular components, used washed products
for plasma, IgA deficient donors are required
symptoms:
respiratory distress and severe hypoxemia
non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
fever, chills
hypotension
TRALI
TRALI criteria
no evidence of ALI prior to transfusion
ALI onset within 6 hours
hypoxemia
bilateral infiltrates on CXR
no evidence of ciculatory overload
“two hit” mechanism
TRALI
inflammatory insult + transfusion
HLA or HNA antibodies in transfused blood
immune TRALI
management TRALI
oxygen and mechanical ventilation
reversible
management TRALI
oxygen and mechanical ventilation
reversible
