Q

Difference between the contents of AHF cryo and cryosuper?

A

AHF cryo is rich in Factor VIII, XIII, vWF, fibrinogen whereas cryosuper is deficient in those proteins
-cryosuper still has other clotting factors

18
Q

Cryosuper - storage temp and shelf life for frozen units? Storage temp and shelf life for thawed units?

A

-18C or below for 1 year

1-6C for 5 days

19
Q

Platelets - storage temp and shelf life? Platelets storage require ___ to ensure platelets are oxygenated and CO2 is expelled

A

20-24C (room temp), 5 days

Agitation

20
Q

Platelets - for an adult, how many bags are needed? Alternative?

A

5-6 concentrates (PLT, PLC)
-1 concentrate = 10 kg body weight

1 single donor platelets; platelet pheresis (SDP, PP)

21
Q

Platelets - what is the dosage increase from concentrate and from platelet pheresis?

A

5,000-10,000/ul

30,000-60,000/ul

22
Q

Granulocytes - contents. Storage temp and shelf life

A

Concentrated leukocytes
-very rarely ordered

20-24C (room temp), transfuse ASAP within 24 hours of collection

23
Q

Purpose of irradiation? Prevents what disease?

A

Stops WBC proliferation

Prevents GVHD in immunodeficient patients

24
Q

Irradiated components - shelf life and temp

A

28 days from irradiation, but not more than original expiration date (ie platelets expire in 5 days)

Original component’s storage temp

  • RBCs = 1-6C
  • platelets = room temp
25
Q

What 2 components does pathogen reduction technology (PRT) treat?

A

32
Q

Febrile reactions are best treated by giving units of…

A

-white cells cause febrile reactions

33
Q

It is possible to restore levels of 2,3-DPG and ATP in red cells stored in CPDA-1 solution by adding a solution containing

Q

Why must rejuvenated red cells be washed?

A

Wash rejuvenated cells with 2 liters of 0.9% saline solution to remove the inosine, which may be toxic to patients
