Pulse Rate Determination
Temperature Determination
Hemoglobin Determination
Hematocrit Determination
Blood Type Determination
Tests for the Blood Transmissible Disease
Bleeding Demonstration
Weight Determination:
- These should be removed as it may add to the standard weight requirement for a donor.
- Position of the donor on a weighing scale
- This should be determined
- The weight should be recorded in what units? On what?
- Shoes, heavy clothing, apparel
- Standing straight
- Weight
- Pounds and kilograms on Blood Donor Interview Data Sheet
1 kg is equivalent to ______ pounds
2.2
This tells you the maximum amount of blood that can be drawn from a donor.
weight
The maximum allowble blood is suspended in _______________ present in the primary blood bag.
63 mL of anticoagulant
If the weight is <110 pounds or <50 kilograms, the blood bank may …
collect lesser amount of blood granting that the standard amount anticoagulants will be adjusted and blood collected will be used within 24 hours
Removal of anticoagulants means
the procedure is already an open system
Formula in getting the maximum volume of blood to donate
a. in pounds
b. in kg
a. Donor’s weight/110 X 450
b. Donor’s weight/50 X 450
Formula in getting the volume of anticoagulant needed to suspend collected blood
max. volume of blood to donate/100 X 14
Formula in getting the amount of anticoagulant to be removed from the primary bag
63 mL - (volume of needed anticoagulant)
Blood Pressure Determination:
- How should the donor be seated?
- This is placed on the donor’s arm
- An artery being located where the chest piece of the stethoscope is placed to hear beating sounds
- The BP apparatus bulb should be squeezed until ______________.
- Represents systolic pressure
- Represents diastolic pressure
- The BP in _______ should be recorded on the Blood Donor Interview Data Sheet.
- Seated comfortably
- Inflatable cuff
- Brachial artery
- The pressure is enough for you not to hear any beating sounds
- First loud sound to reappear (after slowly releasing pressure)
- Last sound before it ceases.
- mmHg
Allowable limit of:
a. systolic blood pressure
b. diastolic blood pressure
a. ≤ 180 mmHg
b. ≤ 100 mmHg
