Rh [D] is the most immunogenic

69
Q

What are the 2 clinical symptoms of HDN

A

1) Hemolysis, anemia, and erythropoiesis

70
Q

Describe the clinical symptoms of HDN: Hemolysis, anemia, and erythropoiesis

A

*maternal IgG antibodies attach to specific antigens on fetal RBC

71
Q

Describe the clinical symptom of HDN; Bilirubin

A

*RBC destruction releases Hgb= metabolized to bilirubin [indirect]

72
Q

what are the 2 types of testing done during a workup when HDN is suspected for diagnosis

A

Serologic testing and Aminocentesis

73
Q

Describe the serologic testing done for the diagnosis of HDN

A

*ABO/Rh typing and AB screen at first prenatal visit during first trimester; medical history

74
Q

Describe the Aminocentesis testing done for the diagnosis of HDN

A

monitors concentration of bilirubin pigment in the amniotic fluid = degree of fetal anemai

75
Q

What are the ways that HDN is managed

A

Intrauterine transfusion- Photo-therapy with UV light,

76
Q

what is the Rh IG administration dose calculation

A

of fetal cells / # of adult cells X 5000/30 = # vials (only full vials)

77
Q

describe hypothermia reactions

A

significant decrease in core body temperature due to low temperature of blood products (stored in cold 1-6C). Can lead to heart failure, respiratory distress, neurological disturbances. Use blood warmer to warm blood.

78
Q

describe air embolism reactions

A

equipment malfunction or improper setup of infusion set or perioperative blood recovery. Infusion of as little as 100mL of air within intravascular space can be fatal.

79
Q

what are the symptoms of air embolism reactions

A

cough, difficulty breathing, choking, and potentially death.

80
Q

describe potassium abnormalities reactions

A

extracellular K concentration narrow range of 3.5-5.5 mEq/L to prevent cardiac failure. During storage of RBC units, some of intra cellular K leaks into small extracellular volume. May send patient into hyperkalemia

81
Q

describe transfusion-related Immunomodulation

A

patients who have been transfused have been exposed to more HLA antigens- have better acceptance of transplants. Some research shows increase risk of infection, malignancy, short-term mortality.

82
