Allogeneic Donor
Genetical non-related donor
Directed Donor
Family and friends donate for specific recipient.
Used for specific instances such as rare genetic trait.
Lower risk for alloimmunization but higher risk of disease transmission and graft/host disease
Autologous Donor
Self donation
Used in specific circumstances such as a bloody surgery. A direct order from the physician is REQUIRED.
Lower risk of disease transmission, alloimmunization, and transfusion reaction. There is a risk for TACO, bacterial contamination, misidentification, storage lesion, and patient low HGB
What is TACO
Transfusion associated circulatory overload. Too much fluid in the body which overwhelms the heart.
Temporary deferral
Donor is unable to donate for a limited period of time due to current health state or risk for infectious disease (Today - 3 years)
Indefinite deferral
Regulatory agencies have not determined when a deferred donor may be re-entered into the donor pool. This status could change but won’t until the regulation is changed
Permanent deferral
Donor will never be able to donate due to test results or answers to questions on the DHQ
Brachycardia is the primary sign of ___
Vasovagal Reaction
Treatment for a vasovagal reaction
Lean back the chair, elevate legs, and give bag to breathe in, monitor
Treatment for weakness, Sweating, dizziness, pallor, nausea / vomiting, syncope
- Stop phlebotomy
- Elevate legs above head
- Cold compress forehead and neck
- Aromatic spirits
Treatment for hyperventilation
A common reaction to phlebotomy. Lean back the chair, elevate legs, and give bag to breathe in, monitor
Tachycardia is a primary sign of ___
Hypotensive shock. An uncommon reaction to phlebotomy
Treatment for cardiac difficulties
- Ensure airway is adequate
- CPR
- Call 911
Treatment for convulsions
- Call 911
- Prevent donor from falling or injuring self
- Ensure airway is adequate
Treatment for tissue trauma/injury (hematoma)
- Apply pressure 7-10 minutes
- Apply ice
Treatment for muscle spasms/twitching
Voluntary coughing

Causes of hemolysis in RBC products
Extreme temperatures, centrifigation, manufacturing force, bacterial contamination, INCOMPATIBLE solutions with product
Causes of lipemia in RBC products
Fatty meal before donation or chronic conditions such as hypercholesterolemia
Causes of bacterial contamination in RBC products
Normal flora from the colelctrion process, loss of sterility during the colelction process, asymptomatic bacteremia in donors
Causes of particualte matter in RBC products
Clots, fibrin strands (clotting was activates)
White non cellular matter that dissipates with temp change is okay for transfusion. If it persists after gentle agitation then DISCARD
Causes for color change in RBC products
Some color differentiation is normal and expected. Generally, the darker the blood appears, the less oxygen content there is within in the unit.
What is HBOC
Cell free hemoglobin (purified hgb dissociated from RBC)
What are pros of HBOC
It delivers oxygen quickly to smaller tissues and is chemically altered to change oxygen affinity
What are cons of HBOC
Vasocontriction, renal failure, short half life, increased chance of MI and coagulopathy
What does deglycerized product mean
Product has been washed and there are no proteins and no plasma = no allergens while still leaving red cells.
Why do we use LRBC
Lots of allergic reactions are linked to HLA reactions which are on WBC
Plasma must be ___ type matched
Reverse
