Q

HTR signs and symptoms

A

fever and chills

back pain, chest pain, nausea, flushing, dyspnea, DIC, hemoglobinuria, acute renal failure

25
Q

HTR management

A

steps 1-6
aggressive fluid
furosemide to increase renal blood flow/urine output
red cell exchange if feasible

26
Q

FNHTR signs and symptoms

A
fever
chill/rigor
dyspnea and wheezing due to high O2 demand
hypertension due to rigor
flushing due to cytokines
27
Q

FNHTR etiology

A

cytokine and WBC in the bag

28
Q

FNHTR management

A

steps 1-6
r/o hemolysis, DAT, CXR
Tylenol, meperidine for chill/rigor

29
Q

FNHTR prevention

A

leukoreduction and premedication (Tylenol)

30
Q

sepsis signs and symptoms

A

fever
chills
hypotension- may progress rapidly to endotoxic shock

31
Q

sepsis etiology

A

bacterial contamination of the unit

usually skin flora

32
Q

sepsis management

A

steps 1-6
draw blood cultures
sent unit to blood bank for culture
IV antibiotics, fluids, pressors

33
Q

sepsis prevention

A

careful donor screening
thorough cleansing of phlebotomy site
bacterial screening

34
Q

allergic rxn signs and symptoms

A

uticaria and local erythema
pruitis
no fever

35
Q

etiology of allergic rxn

A

allergic reaction to transfuses plasma proteins

36
Q

management of allergic rxn

A

stop transfusion
administer antihistamine
if symptoms subside MAY RESTART slowly and observe

37
Q

prevention of allergic rxn

A

antihistamine premed

38
Q

anaphylaxis signs and symptoms

A

hypotension/shock
wheezing/resp distress
laryngeal edema

39
Q

anaphylaxis etiology

A

anti IgA Abs in IgA deficient recipients (naturally occurring)
rarely Abs to other plasma proteins (haptoglobin) or drugs

40
Q

anaphylaxis management

A

steps 1-6
vigorously treat hypotension
subQ epinephrine

41
Q

anaphylaxis prevention

A

premed with antihistamines and steroids
for cellular components, washed products are indicated
for plasma, IgA deficient donors are required (hard to get)

42
Q

TRALI signs and symptoms

A
during or w/in 6 hours of transfusion
resp distress and severe hypoxemia
non cardiogenic pulmonary edema (lung infiltrates on CXR)
fever and chills
hypotension
43
Q

TRALI criteria

A

no evidence of acute lung injury (ALI) before transfusion
onset during or within 6 hours of transfusion
hypoxemia
bilateral infiltrates
no evidence of circulatory overload

44
Q

TRALI pathophys

A

2 hit: patient needs inflammatory insult + transfusion
-inflammatory insult = neutrophils primed for trauma, sepsis
immune: anti-WBC Abs (HLA or HNA) in the transfused blood component
non-immune: non-Ab component in the blood (phospholipis)

45
Q

tests for TRALI

A

CXR, EKG, troponin, Echo, blood culture, BNP

46
Q

TRALI management

A
steps 1-6
oxygen and mechanical ventilation
ICU support
most recover w/in 4 days
mortality 5-25%, up to 58% in critically ill
47
Q

TRALI risk factors

A

recipient related: inflammatory insult
transfusion related: high plasma volume products
donor related: HLA or HNA antibody (related to number of pregnancies)

48
Q

TRALI prevention

A

male donor plasma only

defer TRALI confirmed donors

49
Q

TACO signs and symptoms

A
dyspnea, orthopnea, cough
positive fluid balance
cardiogenic pulmonary edema on CXR
elevated central venous pressure
elevated serum BNP, may have elevated pro-BNP
50
Q

TACO etiology

A

volume infusion not tolerated by patient
-high infusion rate or volume
-underlying cardiopulm disease
albumin/plasma infusion may shift large volumes of extracellular fluid into vascular space, acutely expanding blood volume

51
Q

TACO vs TRALI

A

TACO- heart failure, transudate trach tube, diuretic response, no WBC change, elevated BNP
TRALI- no heart failure, exudate trach tube, minimal diuretic response, decreased WBC, normal BNP

52
Q

TACO management/prevention

A

cautious transfusion in patients with cadiopulm status
stopping or slowing transfusion
diuretics and oxygen
phlebotomy in emergencies

53
Q

A

engraftment and proliferation of donor T-cells > attack recipient tissues including bone marrow

54
Q

TA-GVHD signs/symptoms

A

begins 8-10 days post transfusion

fever, rash, enterocolitis, hepatitis, pancytopenia

55
Q

TA-GVHD risk/prevention

A

does not occur in AIDs patients
degree of HLA similarity between donor and recipient
prevent with irradiation
usually fatal 90% mortality

56
Q

delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions

A

accelerated clearance/extravascular hemolysis of crossmatch compatible RBCs, usually due to anamnestic antibody response in a previously sensitized patient

57
Q
