B3.050 Prework 2 Transfusion Components, Triggers and Reactions Flashcards
what process is used to collects RBCs?
whole blood
what process is used to collect platelets?
apheresis
shelf life of RBCs
CPD = 21 d
CPDA = 35 d
AS (additive solutions) = 42 d
expected Hc increment after 1 unit of RBC
1 g/ dL
what is RDP?
random donor platelet
platelets from whole blood donation
5.5 x 10^10 platelets/bag
what is SDP?
single donor platelets
platelets from apheresis
3 x 10^11 platelets/bag
1 unit SDP = ?
6 units RDP (1 dose RDP)
what is leukoreduced product?
leukocytes removed
why do we need LR product?
prevent:
- febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR)
- CMV
- HLA-alloimmunization
what is irradiation?
kill T cells in donor blood
why do we need irradiation?
prevent TA-GVHD
transfusion associated graft versus host disease
donor T cells attack recipient skin, oral/GI, lung, ad marrow
what is washing?
removes potassium, cytokines, antibodies, and allergens from unit
IgA deficient recipient
how do you wash blood?
saline, 30-40 min
double wash for IgA def patients
problems with washing
lose 15% RBCs
outdated after 24 h
discuss the TRICC trial
restrictive group: transfused when Hgb <7
liberal group: transfused when Hgb <10
no demonstrable benefit to a liberal strategy
in younger patients, mortality higher in liberal group
AABB 2016 Guidelines for RBC transfusion
Hb 7 = hospitalized patients who are hemodynamically stable
Hb 8 = patients under going surgery or with preexisting cardiovascular disease
indications for platelet transfusion
to control or prevent bleeding due to def of platelet number or function
platelet count without active bleeding = <10-20K
platelet count with bleeding or invasive procedure = <50K
massive transfusion and bleeding
bleeding w evidence of platelet dysfunction
indications for FFP
to control or prevent bleeding in patients with a documented clotting factor def
- active bleeding, invasive procedure and massive transfusion with INR >2
- emergency of warfarin
- TTP - plasmapheresis
- antithrombin 3 def, or protein C, S or heparin cofactor 2 def
contraindications for FFP
not for volume or protein replacement
not bleeding or low risk procedure
if elevated INR and bleeding not controlled after receiving plasma, consider other possibilities
top 3 causes of transfusion related death
TRALI (38%)
TACO (24%)
HTR (21.5%)
what do you do If you suspect a transfusion reaction?
- stop transfusion
- keep IV open with saline
- product tags and pt ID
- notify blood bank and physician
- collect and send blood and urine samples to blood bank
- send the unit, tags, and admin set to blood bank
information needed by blood bank physician
products
premedication
vitals (before and after)
symptoms
acute hemolytic transfusion reactions etiology
1:25,000-50,000 transfusions incompatible blood usually due to misidentification 10-20% mortality >50% acute renal failure
